First official "after" post! I made it through surgery. I was told it was a total success. After surgery not so much..(but this is me-everyone is different) I had a hard time waking up, and when I did I hurt! (They were with holding some of the pain killers until I came out of the anesthisa well) Left side is the achey side, either from where they take the stomach out or the drain. Right side incicion has been bleeding heavily. They are sort of concerned, but no panic buttons being hit yet. ( I am on blood thinners for life. While I discontinued before surgery it could be effecting it) I have been up to the potty and to walk a couple times, so most gas pain is minimal. Just taking it moment by moment with my new best friends-ice chips! LOL In the end this will all be a memory and I will be so glad I endured it.
