Surgery Tomorrow!

I can hardly believe my surgery is tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited! I have survived my 2 week preop diet and after a year and a half since starting this journey, the day has come. The new me begins tomorrow and I couldn't be happier.

Good luck tomorrow...... yes the new you is about to begin. I too am having my surgery on June 10th and am so excited about it all. So looking forward to not hurting from osteoarthritis and being able to wear nicer clothes and get out and enjoy my life with my husband, kids and grandkids. !! The time goes by fast doesn't it? Best of luck.......

Good Luck tomorrow! You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I have my surgery on Friday.

Best of luck tomorrow!! Will be sending tons of positive vibes your way for a great surgery and quick recuperation!

Congrats and Good luck!!! My best advice is walk as soon as possible after you're in your hospital room. I had bad gas pains that crept up into my right shoulder and it was horrible, only thing that helped was walking. I walked SO much. wishing you all the best! and hopefully no gas pains :)

Good luck and I second the walking recommendation. Walk and drink, baby steps on both, but lots of them

Good luck and remember to walk walk !

Day 2 post op and the gas pains are killing me! I have been walking loops around my unit and have started to pass gas as of about midnight last night, but clearly there is a lot more to get rid of. Even the oxycodone the nurses give are not making a dent. I am aupposed to go home today and now I'm worried that if i am still in this much pain they wont let me.

KD, I hope the gas has passed!

Gas is still painful, but I am home and not in the hospital, so at least that's good. I am hopeful that it will be finished by the weekend.
