Home from the Hospital..One Day Out

Wow, Id like the license number of the truck I think ran over me. I never knew so much pain could be caused from a tiny bite of food... My tummy hates me right now :( It can only get better I say to myself. My surgeon told me I did so well I could come home the day after my surgery. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad lol.

Sounds like a good thing to me! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Yea, I know exactly how you feel. It's not all peaches,and cream. When I woke up in recovery, I felt like someone had a chainsaw at my abdomen, I started screaming for them to put my stomach back. It was straight out of Chiller. Haha, All good now.

I was also out the next day! But had to go to the emergency after a couple of hours of being out. I could not swallow pain meds and the pain became unbearable. The gas pain is the worst. Then when that is all gone you feel extremely sore. I had surgery 6 days ago and still have some pain. The worst part is learning how to sip and wait for that pain to go away before you can take another sip! I'm hoping this gets better. On another note I have lost 14lbs so far yay!!!
