Post op day one- OUCH!

[kmschneiderpac 9]

Need a little support after a rough night and first day out. Lots of anxiety since none of my regular Meds were continued. Good news is no leaks on radiology today, I am taking fluids and ensure, and have all but my IV and drain out! Planning on discharge tomorrow and the comforts of home and my two best nurses- my dogs to comfort me! Tell me it gets better day by day and I will be smiling! Good luck all!!!

It does get better. I spent four days in the hospital and was miserable. Once I got home I started doing MUCH better. Its cliche to say "no place like home" but seriously...there isn't. The pain might linger, but it's easier to get comfortable at home.

I had a revision from band to sleeve on Monday as well as a hiatel hernia repaired. It definately gets better. I feel very good just blown up with air and gas and a little sore. I was in the hospital for 3 days and when I got home I was so much more comfortable. I am barely even taking pain pills, only at night. You will be fine, just hang in there!

It does get better! I was in a lot of pain post-surgery too. And I did not expect to be. I followed my doctor's advice and talk as much pain meds as were prescribed for the first few days. By the end of the first week, I did not need the pain meds anymore. And somewhere in the middle of week two, I woke up one morning and felt pretty normal again.

Congrats! And good luck!
