My date is march 17. Can't wait !!

I've had a pretty easy time of It so far pain wise until today. When I came home Thursday (Tuesday surgery) I noticed a pulling burning pain between two of my incisions. Today it's to the point I can stand or sit upright for more than a few minutes before it becomes almost unbearable. The pain is low, slightly above and to the left of my belly button. Anyone know if this is normal?

We were told with those symptoms to go see your doctor. Sorry for your pain.

For those who are home post surgery- where did you settle once home? Did you sleep in bed or in a recliner? Looking for the most comfortable,easiest option.

I've read a lot in other post op groups of people sleeping in the recliner a few days.. If you sleep in bed my dr said to elevate your upper body 30 degrees.

A lot of people said a recliner for the first few days. Believe it or not, I don't own one. So I went and bought one today lol. Surgery this Thursday!

that's my plan as well, getting one this week

Tomorrow is my last day of meals before going on a clear liquid diet...I feel like I need to choose wisely!!!

Just got my date for revision, March 27th. My biggest fear is failing again. I'm not telling my family until after the surgery, the one person I told I was considering revision said,"oh, the other worked so well". Which blew all my confidence, so to keep positive, only people that are positive know before surgery. My doctor doesn't have me on Pre-op diet?

. Sort of like the matrix, the red pill or the blue pill

Got my date today 18 March, so excited.

We're surgery buddies!

@Kimberly I am the 18th also in Colorado.

Lol, me too! Going to university hospital.

I start my liquid diet Monday.... Getting closer!

I've been sleeping in bed but propped up. I've actually been sleeping pretty good. I use a heating pad too.

Surgery Monday. I live in a small community so I'm in Anchorage where I am having surgery staying in a hotel. I wish I could be in my own bed with the comforts of my own home. I slept a little bit tonight with my 9 year old by my side. I'm nervous. I'm all she has which is a big part of why I am doing this whole thing but getting scared because should something happen I'm all she has.

I'm sure things will be just fine but I have had complications with surgeries in the past and that thought lingers in the back of my mind. I would love to spring forward one month instead of one hour tonight just to get to the "rest of my life" part. (Also to miss tomorrow's bowel prep day. )
