  • Hi ladies. I am now officially post op !! Feeling way better than I expected. I am very tired but I'm comfortable and relaxed. Surgery went well and the hospital staff is awesome !! Hope all of us

  • I am officially post op now too! I'm still pretty groggy but just did my first walk. Yay! It is going much better than I expected as well.

  • I think I've come through pretty well. 1 bout of nausea yesterday after surgery but no vomiting. Gas is concentrated more up top so a lot of burping but no real pain. Finally got some ice chips today.

Still feeling really good but my heart rate is up so that has me a little worried. My hubby & the kids just left and now I am going to try and get a nap in before my next walk. I'll will post again in the morning ????

Great ...you will be great. You sound like me . My hubby and kids were there too but I was still groggy and slept .. Lol they stayed to walk with me . Get some rest keep us posted on your recovery ...

Still having relatively no pain, a little uncomfortable is probably the better word for it. Doc just came and checked in on me and said everything is looking really good. Tomorrow is ice chips and more walking

Oh no that sucks !! Having your period on top of that ... Tomorrow is a new day ... Maybe u will feel better ...

So glad to read good news for most of us. @@ylluz I'm so sorry you're having to deal with your period along with everything else. :(

My surgery went great this morning. I felt like poo in recovery (I have probs with anesthetic), but it got much better. Came home about 5 hours later and feel pretty good!

We made it! Woo!!

Hi all,

Surgery yesterday went well. I suffered with severe nausea and gas pain for the first night but am doing much better today. Hooked up to all the pain meds u can think of lol can't believe we've done it. Yay :)

@@innerpeace90 I'm sorry about the severe gas and nausea, but so glad to learn you're feeling better now! Woo!

Wishing you a great day!!

Hello everyone. Ylluz so sorry you got your period. That really sucks. Everyone else looks to be doing ok. Yesterday was a tough one for me. Nausea and dry heaves all day til about 6. Feeling much better today. Got almost no sleep last night because of my roommate but I'll be out today and I can rest when I get home. Having very little pain and I was able to get breakfast down slowly. It was 2oz plain yogurt and a 4oz protein shake. Now I'm sipping water. Don't forget tosipsip sip!

I think I've come through pretty well. 1 bout of nausea yesterday after surgery but no vomiting. Gas is concentrated more up top so a lot of burping but no real pain. Finally got some ice chips today...who knew they could be so yummy?! Get to go home tomorrow!

I'm home. Thank goodness. The only incision that hurts is the one in my belly button and it's exactly where underwear or pants hit. Figures!!!! I'm not going to complain every day it will get better.

The one on my left side hurts the worst. Got a bit of a bruise going on there. Still feeling good though, but have a little more gas pain this afternoon .
