I am sorry to hear that your feeling bad. But better to spend an extra night then to have to return worse

Had my surgery this morning andI'm feeling great

That's great!

Hi

Had surgery yesterday. As of now' date=' the only discomfort I'm having is chest pain. Could be gas or catheter tube that was just removed.

I did walk a little last night, believe me it's not easy. I felt like someone had beaten me all over! lol

Slept like a baby due to morphine but as if today no more pain meds uuugh!

I am now waiting for UGI test.[/quote']

Is there a reason they took you off pain meds? Just wondering cause I have surgery in a week. I am a wussy when it comes to pain.

Hope everything is going well for you :)

Has anyone heard from our March go getters let?

Hi all, march 5th surgery day and have to say I'm miserable. I have so much pain I don't know what to do. I'm getting better at getting up and walking around but an hour before its time for my meds I'm in tears. I never thought of myself as a wuss but then again have never had surgery. They changed my meds from Diluted--im probably spelling that wrong to codine and its not working and where as good. Ugh!

I can't seem to get to sleep, prob this dumb cathader (so uncomfortable), i have zero pain. I'm just short of breath which is normal for just having surgery, but my oxygen is at 100%. I walked earlier and again the only discomfort i had was from the cathader.

Oh I am so sorry you are in pain. I hope your recovery starts to get better soon. As far as being a wuss, I will be right in your spot soon. I am super wussy!

Surgery march 5...today is discharge day (hopefully!) just had my dye test everything looks good. Drinking apple juice and changed into real clothes...feel like a rock star compared to 2 days ago! Still painful to get up and down and tightness when I walk but not much pain anymore. Waiting for drain to be pulled, so not looking forward to that from what many of you have said!
