Yay! Welcome! I had one incision that gave me some grief and I've heard that from a few people. Just get lots of rest and dont try to do too much!!! I'm so happy for you. Keep us posted!

Good to hear you made it through to the other side. I am having some incision site pain too. My doc only keeps us overnight. Having the hospital bed to help me up and down was nice. Getting rid of that 18 gage IV was nice too. I was trying to tough it out without pain meds last night but what that got me was stuck in bed... I had to have my son come pull me out. LOL Oh well I guess I will have to give in and take them for the next day or so. I have found that crushing the pills and mixing them with Jello helps get them down.

Hmmn don't think I had a drain. I do have a lot of pain from the left incision site.. The one where they remove your stomach. We made it through together. Now I can't wait for the weight loss to start... that will be exciting but OHH HOW I HATE KETOSIS. My body just doesn't want to do it. It is a major wrench to shift into it and a major wrench when it shifts out. Let me know how you are progressing

I too am having a tiny bit of greek yogurt with some sugar-free carmel topping in it. I am feeling some better but still some incision site pain. My husband is terrified of me getting addicted to pain killers. I have never been addicted to any type of drug in my life but with every surgery we go through this struggle of when will be my last pain pill. He has let me know that he thinks I should not take them tomorrow. I usually just ignore him and stop the pain pills when I no longer need them.

I got discharged today and had to head straight to the opthomologists office.... I have an erosion of my cornea.... Probably from a poorly healed old injury but worsened by dry eye during surgery.... It has been more painful than the surgery itself. I am burping a lot and still have diarrhea.... Wish that would end, but otherwise doing pretty well. I definitely appreciated the extra day of iv fluids.

Tomorrow will be over before you know it and you'll be fine. My prayers are with you and your family. Put your trust and faith in the Lord and He will see you through.

I'm a nurse and have worked in surgery and recovery. The doctors are professionals and very good at what they do. Your body will slowly make it back to normal, expect

to be very tired, some pain, and a little fuzzy. The fuzzy in the head feeling will pass in about three to four hours. When you doze off several times and then finally wake up.

Once you are in your room and awake they will want you to sit on the side of the bed and then walk a little. If you are in pain, tell your nurse. They should be able to help you

stay comfortable. Then we rely on the experts on this web site. They have lived it and know what it's like. I appreciate all those who tell us about your experiences.

Let us know how you did when you can.
