I have 4 hrs till check in. So excited!!

I am so excited for everyone having surgery today. Prayers to you all.

Just checked in and waiting to be called back. Will be on hopefully after surgery.

Wish you all luck today! Happy surgery day

Ok all, so I had a successful surgery. I experienced pain, but not hat I couldn't tolerate. My threshold is really high. I've been walking all day up and down hall. The worst pain is that i feel the hernia repair. No problems swallowing yet. I've only had water and ice chips so far.

Hello. I am having a more difficult time than I anticipated. Honestly I think it's more the nausea from the pain med so I have eased back. I get gassy and the burps really hurt coming up. Sorry tmi. My nurse has been amazing so that helps. Going to try to sleep without the pain meds and see how I feel when I wake up. I can't believe this day actually came!

Day 1 post op sore but it's all good

in the hospital but discharged process has been started. The first day has gone perry well, my

biggest issue is I inch all over. I am feeling a little like throwing up and I do have some pain but over all I'm good.

Glad everything went okay. I wonder if the itching is from the pain meds. I had that once after a surgery and it was the pain meds. How did they treat you at TMC? Do you get a private room or multi-bed? How was your doctor. Can't wait for it to me my turn.

I thought it might have been the hospital gown. There I a fe detergents mom and my sister221 so figured that was the issue. I did g-et a private room and the doctor was amazing.- tmc treats you amazingly

Can't wait until I get my surgery. I am hoping the insurance company doesn't keep me waiting for an answer too long. Glad you are doing good and are going home soon. Hope this wind dies down soon. It is blowing like crazy down here in Green Valley.

Woops. Accidentally hit send. I am very nauseated and my temp is 99.6. Little worried. I keep dry heaving and it is extremely painful in my incision areas. So far this has been miserable. I keep hearing it gets better but I'm ready to start feeling better!

I'm sorry to hear that. It's tough in the beginning but we will be ok as the weeks pass. Yeah the incision pain has been a beast for me as well but I know tomorrow will be better than today and its goes on. Keep your head up. We are all here for each other.
