A little sore throat is perfectly normal. It happens when they have you intubated. It will pass in a day or two. Nice, warm tea or coffee is soothing to a post surgery sore throat. :)

I was hoping the port would be in my belly but my surgeons putting it in my chest.

I don't know why that gives me the major heebie-jeebies but it does. :lol:

Lol I know right! I have an internal defibbrilator on the left side of my chest. Now I'm gonna have the port on the other. I guess scars are better than this weight I carry though.

Yeah! Happy dance you are out and probably home by now!

As for the anesthesiologist saying that. is outrageous. The surgeon would have been hearing about that. Very disrespectful to you and to the Dr. even though you don't believe it, you still don't need that negativity.

As for scars, I hear you girl, I have a port scar above my chest from chemo, a bi-lateral masectomy scar across my chest and now 5 new scars from this surgery. Apparently these will become our battle scars, we shall wear them proud! We have all survived through all this and can go on to be happier/healthier.

Keep us posted.

Colleen

Thanks everyone for commenting. It's currently 4am and I've gotten up every hour to 45min to pee. Very annoying lol. I've done my fair share of walking but still having very painful shoulder gas. It's probably been the worst so far with any other surgery pains today. After my swallowing study today I can go home.

Congrats to all the above newbies !!!! Yay !! You did it ! It will get easier, just give it time , pain wise. Im the biggest baby when it comes to pain, but I did'nt even have to take the pain meds after the 2nd day as long as I walked and used the heating pad , etc. As far as that very unprofessional womans comment ? I would report her, NOW. Totally uncalled for, rude and unprofessional and she had NO business saying that to you. Obviously, most of us on this forum are successful, so what the hells her problem ? ( Sorry, it just ticked me off !) The best to all of you !

Dude! They kept you overnight? I went in to the surgical center at a quarter to six in the morning, was the first patient of the day, (yay! no waiting!) in for my surgery, fast recovery, (I am a good patient, I bounce back like a Superball) and they threw my ass out by a quarter to ten. With our drive home from Tempe to Prescott, I was chillin' like a villain in my recliner by lunch time. :D I am always amazed at how different facilities do this surgery. :lol:

Yep, we were in the drive through (hospital) at Breakfast and back out of it after lunch. I didn't feel pushed to leave. We were hardly on a table. Mostly in a recliner.

Actually I think the registration we did the week previous took us longer...

The drive through hospital. :lol: I like that. I didn't feel pushed to leave, either. I was ready to go. I was perfectly stable, feeling pretty good, happy, in fact. I had requested an extra bump of the good stuff, for my long ride home, which they gladly gave me and I was ready to blow that pop stand and go home to my recliner and let my husband pamper and fuss over me. :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
