Just a note to let you all know my surgery went well and I'm doing fine. I'm still at the hospital but will post a full update when I get home! Spent yesterday very nauseous and in lots

of pain but doing pretty great now. Lots of pain in abdomen when I move around or in the proccess of standing up or sitting down. But once I am sitting still or walking slow I feel pretty good. I am getting down 1 oz of liquid every 15 mins with no trouble. Was not expecting a drain but I did get one. Yucky. Also most of my incisions are just 1 inch but the one in front is like 4 inches!!! That one hurts a lot. Time for me to walk the hall again, will update more later.

Yay Christie! you go girl!

I was worried when we didnt hear from you.

According to the videos on youtube, the big one hurts because they have to stitch the muscles closed to avoid a hernia. The doc in the video I watched even said that that one

would hurt more. Keep walking, and soon you will be up and around and making your hubby jealous!!
