I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

I stayed a extra night because of my two drains were dumping fluid so fast and my puncture wounds were leaking so much. This should of happened on Thursday and Friday not Sat.

I had trouble wiping from the swelling and pain. My husband was a trooper... he only had to wipe the backside once for me in the hospital. I had trouble wiping the front but managed it myself. My husband also gave me a sipository in the hospital. Also when I was having gas pains i would lay on my stomach and my husband would do karate chop massages on my back to help me pass gas lol. He was surprisingly very helpful. I think he started to get sad when I was able to do stuff on my own because he liked feeling helpful.

Have you been passing gas? My pain left a lot when I got all that gas out. They threatened an enema, mine wasn't going anywhere and you probably are swollen...but gas release will help that.

I am a tummy sleeper! I can not wait to get off my back. I am 2 weeks out and am able to lay on my side for a short time before it hurts. I was able to lay on my tummy without pain. But I don't want to chance a whole night. This may have something to do with the diets the doctors put people on after surgery.
