i have to say this has been one hell of a journey for me. I def doubted myself. I vomited so much that i was so sore and couldnt get enough pain meds in me to stop the pain. The pain meds they give you are not strong so if you take meds like i do on a daily basis please stop them a month before surgery. that is my advice. Dr. Ponce and trish are amazing, One of Dr, Ponce partners i cannot say the same for. He told me to toughen up. LOL

I do well with pain and cant figure out why i was in so much pain but assume it was from all the vomiting. Once the drain is out you are on the fast track to feeling better.

Gas is horrible and so painful. Say a prayer that my pain eases and im home safe in the states monday painfree.

thanks for all the support

I am praying for you! I am so sorry you are having this type of reaction and pain. Are you by yourself? It does get better I promise. I had some pain at times and each day gets better. I am 12 days out and still have little melt downs. I hope you get better soon.

I pray that you start to feel better very soon!!!

So sorry you going through such a hard time! Praying things turn around for you fast and you feel better real soon and get home safe and sound. Keep us posted

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Tell Trish that Stacey said hi from Florida.

You are in good hands. She is the BEST!!!!

I am sorry to hear you are having such pain! I had a lot of pain from my back injury, so bad that it made new very nauseous. But it was not from the surgery. Dr Ponce ordered me some muscle relaxants and that helped a bunch. The nurses changed my bed to a different bed and that also helped. I hope you feel better soon!
