I had my surgery yesterday morning. I've been up and walking around three times. My IV got occluded so now I am waiting for someone to come put another one in. So no pain meds right now:( Overall, everything went well. They have my stomach binded for support which has been helpful for the walking. I was able to brush my teeth which helped make me feel somewhat human. I am scheduled to leave the hospital this Friday. My heart rate is up a bit so they are concerned for that, but my kidneys are functioning well. Definitely comparable to my C-sections. The pain is just in a different area of the stomach.

Congratulations, I hope you heal quickly! Welcome to the other side!
