Hi everyone! This is the first time for me posting in this forum. My surgery is set for June 29th. Anyone on or around that date that wants to follow each other's progress? I start the 2 week pre op diet tomorrow...kinda had a food funeral this weekend.

@TeeNahh. I really meant I would do it again. I was very nervous the night before and this morning I was a wreck. Just keep moving, keep on those pain meds and tell them to take that God forsakeng catheter out. It didn't hurt it was just annoying walking around with it bobbling around so you have to hold it. Sorry for any typos. I'm a little drugged up right nor from the Liquid Percocet.

Oh jeez! If you're walking around why can't they take out the catheter ?? That's crazy!!

Hey everybody, my surgery went well. I've just been dozing in and out for awhile that I haven't been on here yet. And now that I'm up I'm going to start walking around here soon. @@smrogg the reason they probably haven't taken the catheter out yet is because they want to make sure the anesthesia is out of your system which can take awhile. One of the things it likes to do is slam shut orfices, the first it usually does and lasts the longest is on your uretha. So instead of taking it out and possibly having to put a catheter back in they like to be on the safe side.

Lol sorry for making you all confused..the removed my catheter as soon as I got to my room. It was the initial walking around in recovery I had to keep it in for. The said they normally keep it on for an entire day. I told them well if you want me to walk you better taken that thing out lol. My doc didn't have a problem with it again.

@@TeeNahh just wanted to say good luck today. You're going to do great. I also said a prayer for you. A year from now you'll look back at this and wish you did it sooner. Just wait til we can actually go to a store and say "oh, I like that shirt!" And actually be able to buy it!!!!

Thank you so much ! I can't wait for that day lol ! Everyone have a great day

Yeah TeeNahh we are on our way!! I'm driving right now!!! I look forward to hearing from you to see how it went!

I'm still waiting girl, but I'm next. Good luck !!!! ????????????

Are you in your room?

My surgery went well also. I'm already walking. Pain meds are working. I hope everyone else's surgery went well also. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Yay Deon!! Keep walking. It really helps. And the pain meds are awesome. I'm going home tonight. Just waiting for my dr to sign off on it.

My doctor keeps everybody 2 nights, so I won't go home until tomorrow morning/afternoon

Honestly the only reason I want to go home is because I can't sleep here. I'm sharing a room with a woman who has an entourage with her. There are literally 7 people here right now. And two slept over last night. One of them offered me an ice cream sandwich...how nice of them!!

Hah, wow... luckily i have my own room and my bed is comfortable and my room is quiet. So I really don't mind having to stay here another night.

I'm home!! Yay!
