My surgery went very well. I have little abdominal pain, no nausea and no vomiting. I have had a slight headache and myoixtgen levels had been low so they kept me overnight to d a sleep iusing my CPAC to determine if I nee oxygen at night. I should be ging home today.

Hurray, so glad you are doing well.

I too am a little concerned about breathing because I have Severe sleep Apnea.

Keep us posted. We are all cheering for you.

Congrats I had my Surgery Sept. 17th Wed. and I had a complication of severe high blood pressure. I was in the ICU for a night and then transferred to the floor for another night. Doing better now but I had a lot of pain just after surgery. (Not sure morphine agrees with me.) Home now for a couple of days. trying to get my Water intake and starting on Protein shakes.... both are hard. I too have sleep apnea but had no issues in that area.

The most unexpected thing after surgery (besides the high BP): was the upper GI before they start you on Clear liquids. I thought it would be a scope... it was not. I stood infront of an xray and drank the worst tasting liquid I have ever had....

Best piece of advice: Walk walk walk... I think that helped me and still helps me as much as anything. I did this from day one in the ICU and still get in several walks.. 5-8 times back and forth in my house per day... today I plan to tackle the front steps when the kids get home from school. (I don't want to tackle 13 uneven stairs with no handrail when I am home alone.)

Saw my primary physician - he has taken me off all diabetic medication. My blood glucose has been running under 120 in the mornings and under 160 in the evenings.

Wasn't that easy peezy MsUjima.

how are you doing otherwise? How was your first week home?

I was taken off of my diabetic meds in the hospital. I have been running 90-120. So happy for that!!!
