Finally Post Op and in pain



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery today with Dr Aceves. I was the 3rd to go out of the 4 of us here. I had a hernia so he repaired that for me and they didn't give me a spinal block because of a previous blood clot in my lungs. When I woke up from the surgery I was in OMG so much pain. Neither ankle surgery, my csection or my homebirth prepared me for that kind of pain. Right in the middle of my chest my stomach just below and my back were terrible. I think I didn't have any painmeds in my system when I woke up. Here I am 12 hours later. I've peed and went walking twice. I have this little yellow pouch that I could have sworn was Morphine but it isn't dripping into my line. Infact it's hard as a rock when you touch it. Dr campos if they gave me too much at one time it would make me sick to my stomach. I wish it were later in the day so I could speak to a DR or a nurse who spoke english. So that's my story so far. I cannot wait todrink something. I'm nodding off again.

I'm feel for you. I woke up in a lot of pain too and I agree-my c-section had NOTHING on this.The good news is it doesn't last long. The first two days were bad, but then it got better each day. Hang in there!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
