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.

My doctor said I could go home today, but I elected to stay another night. My self pay arrangement allows for up to three nights with no refunds if I stay less... So, I'm taking advantage! Feeling great, just bloated. They have taken me of nausea meds and demerol... Now on tramadol and Tylenol 3. I just had sugar free vanilla (p) doing and internal freaking good, lol, not like the store stuff, almost custard-like. It is the little things

Man I'm on liquid diet til tomorrow cottage cheese applesauce loose mash potatoes

Do you feel better guyfrom315 Thinking about you

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?

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.

I'm sorry you are sore but I see a lot of people saying they are really sore on the left side. I thought I would share what my surgeon told me during my final visit before surgery yesterday. He told me I would hurt the most on my left side, that is the largest incision because that is where they slide the stapler in to staple off the stomach. I know it doesn't help the discomfort you are feeling but at least it may ease your mind about it being normal.

I could have gone home tonight but chose to stay one more night. I am pretty sore and think I need one more day will make me feel better.

Good idea to stay and get the medical care if you can. Be well.

@dancingqueene...congratulations! I'm so excited for you. I know you were concerned about getting approved. Congratulations to you again!!!

so happy for you..you are on your way

@@edie091371 - I chose to stay another day too. my pain is more generalized, plus they are tapering me off the better pain meds. going home tomorrow and hoping I am ready Good luck to you, hope the shoulder pain subsides soon.

I'm having my revision on Monday the 12. They just called me for the time and they said 2pm to be there at 12!? I wish my time was earlier, cause you can't drink anything after 11 pm on Sunday. How am I suppose to do that, all those hours and nothing to drink. Anyone else have a later time in the day surgery??

My surgery is at 2- have to be at the hospital for 11- so I'm with you. We can do this!

No problems at all felt little tired a couple days ago but im walking stores driving only thing taking it real slow with is lifting really high chance of hernias
