Just Had Surgery!

Hi everyone. I am two days out from surgery and doing well I think. I am able to keep down liquids (so far water, diluted juice & broth). Lots of swelling in my abdomen but incision sites feel fine. I am still taking pain meds every three hours. I am looking forward to hearing others stories as the days go on. Take care!

Thanks Anjela! How many days did you feel you were bloated with gas? Seems that's what is causing most of my pain. Thanks!

Congrats on your new life. I had my surgery on March 2 and I feel 100% better I am so happy I am able to do things I haven't been able to do in a long time

Goodluck with everything and congrats on the surgery!
