Glad to hear! Only one incision of mine hurts. Every time I fall asleep a nurse comes in or my iv pumps starts beeping like crazy. Lol! Awesome nursing staff here so can't complain. Are you staying 2 nights? I'm also slowly switching pain meds from morphine to liquid loratab...I think they make it taste bad so u won't want to take it. Haha! ;) your table is so clean! ;)

Do you feel pressure on your chest area?

A liitle bit below the chest off and on. The vision was from the anesthesia wearing off.

I have chest pains but its air I need to walk it out. I asked if I can get something for gas but im waiting to have a upper gi so I cannot have no meds

Feeling good! Just got released and headed home to my own bed. How did your leak test go? I'm surprised they didn't do that while u were still under anesthesia.

How are you feeling?

Feeling better today. First two days were pretty bad with nausea and pain. Couldn't keep meds down, but I can now. i came home today. Trying to sleep it off. I still have chest pain when I drink cold things, but feel like I'm turning the corner.

One thing I can say I have not has nausea as of yet. Pain yes. Pain like from incisions. The pain is till there. chest pains come and go but I guess is just the process. I'm home now and I feel like ideas doing so much better in the hospital. I was able to bring my Meds down by crushing them and drinking it with water.

Hey girls. I think I'm over the gas pains but 2 of my incisions still hurt. They are just tender and since I have a cold it hurts to cough. They are bruised pretty good but the bruises aren't huge. I don't even want to get on the scale yet. Lol! Are y'all wearing a binder around your stomach? I think it helps. I'm just sip sip sippin on water right now. :)
