This will be my very first surgery and I'm worried of the experience. Anyone else is having their first one?

You might be surprised that you don't experience any of the problems that folks talk about here. I have not been nauseated. I did not have the gas pains that people talk about and my pouch doesn't get "angry". Hopefully you will just sail through.

Thanks Dub and MarciaN for the support, I really need it. I will hopefully do good

"ivettev001" best of luck to you! Keep us posted once done

@@ivettev001 good luck today

Well said !!!!!!!!

You always hear way more from folks who are voicing complaints than you do from the overwhelming number who are beyond happy with their results.

Thank you sweetheart. Yea I hope so Lol Now my only issue is that something (dnt know if meds, sheets, hospital clothe, pillows, etc) gave me rash...they change all the pillows sheets, quilt, clothe, I took a shower with a cloth, and the nurse gave me benadryl which makes me sleepy. And the gas in my chest when I drink Water But it passes fast...auugh it kinda hurts :'(

You are doing great.

It'll get tremendously easier each day.

A couple days after you get home you'll look at the pain meds and laugh because you'll no longer need them.

Hang in there and be careful with your new self. You are going to feel great really, really soon.

I actually brought Benadryl strips with me because I was told that some people get rashes from the drugs given during surgery. Just sip that Water to help get all the "stuff" out of your system.
