I had surgery today at 7:30.. Once I said bye to my mom I was soo sad I was crying an breathing heavily. I had a nurse who was holdings hand and I pretended she was my mom. She told me she wouldn't let go. I was sooo scared. The staff was nice and all. I was regretting it so much I wasted to stop but I knew this was what I wanted. Woke up in pain. Could barely open my eyes. I refused pain medication and my mom and sister apparently. Woke up again after 30 and asked for my mom and medication. My scares do not hurt at ALL. It's my throat that does. It's a just a MUST that you AlL bring a blistex with you. That's helping me a lot. You have no idea so please listen and go buy one. My throat is very dry. There was few times that I wants to throw up but there was nothing to vomit except gas. Omg that hurts so much. I am sad that I am feeling this way. And please don't think I am discouraging anyone just telling my story. They just gave me medication and for dizziness. I am sitting up at the moment bc they said it help with the gas. My back it's staring to hurt a little. Do I have regrets? Maybe just a little! I feel my stomach empty but even if I could I wouldn't want to eat or drink anything. I've been doing the breathalyzer thingy every hour because it helps. I also have a heart monitor since I had heart surgery. Ohh and they wrapped these massage things on my leg which helps with the blood clots but my legs feel so good I am loving it. I will check back later

I had my surgery on the 26th. Knock on wood I have had absolutely no pain. I have had no pain meds since leaving the hospital. I do struggle getting all the water in - but that seems to be improving. Started drinking protein shakes today...and spending at least 30 minutes walking daily since Saturday. My biggest fear was leaving the hospital. I had to travel 4+ hours for my surgery and the weather has been anything but cooperative. Good luck on your journey - I have no regrets!!!

Praying for you to have an easy Surgery and a speedy recovery

Praying you recover quickly. Good luck on ur Journey!

I had no pain, just tenderness around the little incisions. 1 am 6 weeks post op and I think I can do anything, feeling wonderful. BTW I am 67 and loving life LOL!!!!! Best wishes!!!

Hi guys. I am a little better now. My surgery was about 1hour or so. Now I am feeling a little discomfort. I took a walk which made me feel better. Just tired now

Good luck

The pain just won't matter when the pounds start melting off! You will do great!
