I had my surgery!

Sooo I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! I was so nervous, but my hubby soothed me. Walking into the changing room, followed by the holding room really was my this is it moment! No turning back ! My surgeon is really good, understanding and helpful. I had no complications, thank GOD! I woke up from recovery feeling very tired! And hungry. Today, I had my sets of water from 1 oz. graduating to 3. I didn't quite make it to 4. My doc told me I did good and could end here for tonight. I oh home tomorrow morning! I can't wait to be in my own bed! Gotta run , I have to blow on the spirometer and then it's lights out! Thanks for reading!

Congrats!!!! I am 8 days post op and I was taking in about 7 ounces for 2 days... Didn't really measure in the hospital but I loved sucking on my ice chips! When I came home I could only get 1 whole bottle of water or snapple down... As of yesterday I really started to enjoy my ice cold water! And I'm getting two bottles down now :) good luck!

Congrats to both of you! Wishing you both a smooth recovery. I am awaiting my insurance approval. Crossing my fingers. keep up the good work,

Thank you! Congrats to you as well ! I wanted ice chips so bad but they refused this request . They said I'll swallow the air. Different surgeons different rules ! Do what works best for you! Congrats again!

Thank you! I was anxious about insurance approval as well! But it came when I least expected it at my pre op workshop! It'll come, don't worry!

So exciting for you! Congratulations, and I'm glad you didn't have any complications. Keep following the rules once you are home and hopefully it will be happy trails.
