Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

  • Hello all, I hope you all had successful surgeries and are well on your way to your goals and dreams. You guys have made me cry with your kindness and my wife has been very thankful for the support

I'm back home long 5 hour ride home and have so much gas pain and my side hurts so badly too some pain meds but they have to kicked in yet

Day 2 post-op and my biggest worry is getting all my liquids in. It's 2:30 in the afternoon and I've only had about 190 calories today! I just can't get it all in!

@@Jenaenae84 Glad your not feeling the hunger, hopefully the soreness will get better with time. Were you able to get some rest last night?

No didn't get a good night's sleep keep getting up because I was hurting couldn't get comfortable. Hoping to night will be better and I'll be able to get a good night's sleep with out waking up.

Did you feel any relief today from the pain? Do they still have your on meds?

Staying an extra night. Still in a lot of pain. I am taking crushed form of dilaudid. Burning sensation in my stomach. Also am not peering but very little. They were going to send me home with a catheter but wife talked them into keeping me another day instead since we live so far away.

I am glad they let you stay! U do live far away and it is much better to get the pain to a manageable level before u go home.

Surgery went well. Just really sore and a little nauseated. Staying one more night. They took me off iv and trying to get all my fluids down and walk. Hope everyone else's surgeries went well. Love you guys and this support group we have!
