Sade, I hope you are feeling better. I really liked Dr. Luna and the rest of the staff. Be sure to let them know if you have problems. All the best to you.

Sade326, I'm sorry to hear that you are having pain. Maybe Dr. Luna will prescribe something to help with that.

 

I hope that you will rest better at the hotel, where it will be much quieter and the bed should be softer!

Yea a softer bed definitely made a big differences

Two days post op and in having terrible pain at my drain site. My incisions are starting to hurt a little but as well. Can't wait for Dr. Luna to remove the drain today. Hopefully that stops the pain. On top of that I barely got any sleep. Guess I won't truly recover til I'm home in my own bed.

 

How are you feeling? My surgery date is 3/8 with Dr. Garcia. I'm nervous!!! How was your experience?

I will start on the 21 or 22. I'm glad we will be there on the same dates, feels nice to have someone to talk to. Are you from the US or Canada. I'm flying in from FL.

Sade326, how are you doing? Can hardly wait to hear from you girl.

I'm feeling great good luck on ur date you'll do fine. I wasn't even nervous I had one little spell but because I watched a video of how the procedure was done right before surgery. But within a few minutes that spell was over. Lol.

Everything has been good, I reached one week Post op yesterday. Just tryna her through these days of Boredom. Lol I'm home doing nothing during this recovery. It's tuff lol but I'm doing great no real pain just discomfort. Still trying to find a comfortable way to sleep.

So glad to hear you're ok. My day is fast approaching. I'm nervous as he&$ and just ready to get it over with already. Preop diet is slowly coming along,(slowly meaning I've snuck a bite of candy here spoon of rice crispies there while the kids were eating :(. ) I'm really to nervous to eat though. The day before the diet started I ate everything in site out of pure nervousness. Oh well, soon I will be where you are. Did you have to take off from work? How long will you be home for?

You'll do fine. Just leave it in God's hands and you'll have nothing to worry about. I did take off work I will be out for total of 33 days. For the sake of taking advantage of my benefits. Lol
