Hello everyone! I'm doing well tonight. Surgery went well. Dr told my bubbly I had "good anatomy" and organs all looked really good. LOL So, the gas pains have been brutal, but they are getting better. I have them in my shoulders/neck. The best way i can describe the pain in my stomach is that it feels like I did 1000 crunches. Not sharp, just sore. I also have an On-Q Painbuster, so I have two lines inserted into my stomach administering pain meds. Kinda cool. I have been walking and eating ice chips. The hospital and staff are wonderful and I'm feeling very blessed for this opportunity.

Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow!! I will be lifting you up in prayer. You'll all do great!!

Goodnight,

Maria
