Got my date... September 3rd. Anyone else scheduled this day or in September?

I'm trying to be as independent as I can. I still make my son's meals and cups, but since he is over 10 lbs I can't pick him up for 3 weeks I walk around the house pretty good.

Hey guys!! Nervous wreck here. Monday I started to have foot pain' date=' so Tuesday I saw the dr and thought it was gout, blood work done. By end of day swelling was huge. She thought I had a blood clot so went for a doppler this morning, got blood results which sed rate was sky high. Was called back to hospital for more test. Now I am waiting to go to specialist on Monday. They want me to take aspirin but only two days cause Friday is last day for blood thinners. Please say a little prayer that he is gonna release me for surgery on the 27th.[/quote']

sending prayers your way...

Some tmi but I had surgery on the 16th and haven't farted yet or bm...anyone else in the same boat

Mines was on the 17th and I haven't either...I did burp more than usual though.

I haven't farted or had a bm either. Very worried bc i am soo tender that I am not sure how I can. Got out of the hospital today and boy was that crazy. Had to go around town looking for a pharmacy that actually had roxicodone and would supply for my insurance. Some tears were shed. Im ok now but the meds don't seem to last the full four hours in between. Tummy very swollen. Crossing my fingers that I can get back to work as scheduled.

I've had a BM. My surgeon told me he'd let me go home if I farted and literally 10 minutes later I thought I had to fart but it was more LOL (TMI). Now they have to see if I'm tolerating the liquids but I'm hoping they let me go. I'm getting frustrated.

Surgery in 5 hours... Getting really close

Good luck Score!

I have the urge to want to throw up today, I really hope I don't, because I heard it was super painful.

I've thrown up twice and it's not fun at all. Hurts like a bitch. They keep telling me to "listen to the pouch" and not to push it.

they are saying that in the same breath to get in 64 ozs of liquid in lol

I find it weird I have 4 holes and a hole for a drainage tube. They are all on my lower stomach. From pictures it looks like 5 holes in the shape of a V. Wonder why mine are different.

I keep asking them, which do you want damn it?! It's basically impossible right now for me to get 64oz of water and 80 grams of protein in. I'm walking great and I'm finally starting to not feel so full.

Here are mine. Kind of like a v

I can't believe they put your drain so hi up. All my incisions are lower, near my belly button. The only one that is a little higher is the drain.
