Good morning sunshine! Just made it through my IV without fainting. It's a miracle.

Best of luck blondie. Youll probably just be getting to your room as they are knocking me out. Im scheduled to be at the hospital by noon and in the O.R. by 1pm. Best wishes to you. I hope everything turns out beautiful and with minimalvdiscomfort.

I'm being really selfish right now but I'm waiting nervously to see when super fab posts!!! I hope everything went well!

I'm in the very beginning stages. Have my sleep apnea scheduled tomorrow. I see you have had your surgery by now. How did it go? How are you feeling? I am excited for you and cannot wait for these 6 months to go by so I can be where you are at now!

I am so excited for you. My surgery is 4/3,,, I wish it was tomorrow. keep us posted and think positive! I know this will be a wonderful gift you have given to yourself!

Yes! 3 days post op today. The surgery went perfect, I feel some pain sometimes but I guess that's just the usual. I can't wait till I start seeing changes in myself.

Don't worry they will go by fast :)

Best of luck!

Indeed, can't wait till I see changes!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery, you're going to do great :)

Well, I ain't gonna lie... That was probably the worst pain I've ever felt when I woke up from surgery. It took them about an hr to get my pain taken care of. But we got it under control. I've walked quite a bit and did what's called the blue ice test. I eat ice colored with some type of blue dye and they make sure none comes out in my drain tube as an extra leak test. I still look like I've been noshing on smurfs.

My vision is extremely blurry Bc of the nausea patch, and I'm so very nauseous that I've been dry heaving this morning. I have a low-grade fever, which is normal after surgery, but I still feel totally wiped out by it.

Yay SuberFab!! So happy to hear you're ok. I've had surgery quite a few times and those first hours after are pretty rough. I'm sure after another day you'll be feeling do much better. I hope your friend is doing better.

Keeps us posted on your progress. I'm so happy for you that this part is over and the good stuff is still to come! Watch that fever and get lots of rest!! YOU DID IT!!!!

Heyyyyyyy there Superfab! I'm happy things went well. You know waking up in a ton of pain is one of my worst fears. Glad they got that under control. You are officially a sleever...yayyyyyyyyyy
