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.

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!

@sooonergirl619 - so awesome to here! I am still in the hospital, too... Doing good here, as well I'm about 17 hours out and I have also decided to stay another night. How much/often are you walking.? My nurses here do not encourage me to walk, so I need to request it or just do myself. Also, I'm always nauseous after walking... When does that go away?

Good luck to those having surgery today.

I started my liquid diet today...Two more weeks till my big day.

@@dede0314 - so awesome, good luck! The two weeks goes by fast, but know it is hard to believe. I will say that day 2-3 were hard for me... I had the carb flu, big time yet when that time passes, an amazing clarity took place.... I was often not hungry, was satisfied earlier, and had a newfound energy

I'm 10 hours out from my surgery and still in hospital. I'm doing great and excited about the road ahead!

On my way to the hospital!!

@@edie091371, how are you doing?

Sorry guys in a lot of pain will try to talk if I ever feel better. Doesn't seem to be gas just surgery pain

@365Ron - you doing ok?

@@60&goin4it - how r you doing?

It is 5:30am and I'm awake and restless, but doing well! About to try and walk again. I made myself change into my own gown and I am so glad I did... makes me feel less vulnerable, some how. I'm hoping day 2 is complication-free and I continue to feel this positive and excited! wish me luck! Also hope my fellow surgery date friends are doing wonderfu!

Thanks! Yesterday was kind of hard because the shakes aren't agreeing with my stomach... I'm suppose to drink 4 1/2 shakes a day but I only managed three... Hope you're doing well... Praying for a speedy recovery

They have me walking every 2 hours and at night every 4. I feel nauseous after too. I have a patch for that. Really sore on my left side too.

Any one that wears contacts notice the vision get blurry after surgery I normally wear contacts but had to put my glasses back on because with my contacts things I read are blurry alittle blurry with glasses but able to see alot clearer and before surgery my vision was fine.

My vision was very blurry after surgery. Just started getting a little better yesterday. It was crazy! I couldn't see even with my glasses.

feel better my friend..

I think the eyesight/contacts/glasses thing is because of the pain medication, opioids cause your pupils to constrict.
