klopout1,

Thanks for asking about me. I had my surgery yesterday, everything went smoothly. I was even kind of worried as to why I felt so great after surgery, msybe all the meds they gave me in the hospital?? Today I am a little tender around the incisions, but no neausa, no gas pains.

Sending my best to all who go next!!

Thanks Jackie,

Your day is approaching fast! I hope you feel as good as I do. I haven't had much pain at all, only if I push myself too hard.

I hope I do too. Especially after some of the stuff I've heard about the gas pains. I'm sooo glad you're doing so well.

Hey Mal,

Good to hear from you. It sounds like the way I felt too. I didn't have much pain until I got home and my pain meds have helped tremendously. The biggest complaint I had was my mouth being as dry as dirt. That cleared up within a few hours after surgery. I was also soooo tired, but it was a good thing.

My doctor told me that my sorest incision would be where the port is and they were right! It's tolerable but sore. The others I am hardly aware of.

Keep me posted!!

Karen
