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.

@@nervous nana So sorry for your delay! I know you must have been very disappointed! Before you know it your time will be here! Sending hugs your way!!!!

@@chavonjb I'm sorry you are having so much pain, praying that you will be relieved of it!! Do you think its from the gas they pump into your stomach for surgery? Sending you hugs & prayer!

@@soonergirl619 how are you doing with everything?

I'm October 27 in Mountain View CA.

Good luck!

How is everyone that has already had surgery doing with the new routine? How long do the gas pains last, just trying to get an idea 5 days to go till mine!

@@CHLOE12 I personally am doing better each day. My gas pains lasted about 3 days with the worst of it being centered in my left shoulder. I am still gassy so to say but it is not really uncomfortable. My advice to you is don't go into your surgery expecting to feel any particular symtom. Each person is different . I had read and watched so much that I had braced myself for some terrible things that never happened. Some people literally sail thru this surgery so easily. I was not quite one of those but it honestly has not been the ordeal I had created in my mind. If you have any questions, just ask!

@@edie091371 Thanks for the quick response, your right I think I'm nervous from all I've read. Thanks for putting me a little more at ease!

@@CHLOE12 I'm 2 days out and I have gas in my stomach and goes up to my chest...never down. I think I would prefer it if it did. Although I have found that that either walking or standing with both arms above my head helps clear it out. Now I actually get some fluids down without feeling nauseous.

@CHLOEE12 Edie is right. Everyone is different. I had a fairly easy recovery. Came home day two and didn't really use pain meds once I got home. I did have gas pain in the hospital a little but not horrible. It was all basically gone by day three. Good luck!!

Thanks everyone. I'm at my pre-op appt now wish my surgeryiwas tomorrow instead of next week Keep the info on your recoveries coming it makes me feel much more prepared. Best support group ever Love you all
