Surgery day I felt wonderful, yesterday morning awesome. Narcotics wore off felt like I've been tossed around the inside of a dryer. Lesson one sit completely up when drinking or it feels like needles going down. They decided to keep me another day. I had awful heartburn my doc says this is normal. On top of that I had these horrible stomach spasms. Not sure if that is the name for it but every once in awhile it hit almost like a contraction. Again my doc not worried. Anyone else experience this? On a good note so far im only on one insulin. Hopefully it will stay that way.

At this point I just want to go home and sleep it off. You get absolutely no sleep in the hospital! Im cranky if you can't tell and can't wait to feel just a little better

When you get those stomach cramps, sit up very straight and push your chest out slightly arching your back and it should ease. Also walking around will help. Tips someone have me when I was fresh post-op. Hope it works for you!

Speedy recovery with little pain!

So true! Stick your chest out. I had to stay an additional day as well, but what a difference that day made. I left the hospital feeling fantastic!

so glad u r doing well. i have 6 more days. i am reading like crazy to see what i should expect after surgery, need to write all this down so i know what to do,

I was like you good the first day, and the second day the meds were wearing off, that was my worst day. I am 4 days post-0p and feel pretty good, gas pains every now and then.
