But also want those who will be having surgery with me at the same time to chat...

@@LoriAnn35 they both had complications from the surgery, I believe it was septic shock/infection. She was young with kids. I just saw her funeral announcement today[emoji22]. Thank you for that beautiful prayer!

God bless! Im up! 4:22 am.

I am out of surgery and doing well. The pain meds are wonderful so I am not experiencing much pain. No nausea, I asked for the patch. I love the ice chips, I just tried to walk to the bathroom and got really dizzy, I need to take it slower. The staff here at Kiaser are amazing!

Surgery was about an hour...i have a private room...they did fins a hernia so they fixed thst too...i have only hit the pain meds 4 times since out of surgey but no pain..inceions ate very tiny...itake my leak text this morning. Hope tp home home today...harf to take walks with all these tubs in me....

Just got home from Kiaser, feeling great! Can't wait until all the belly swelling goes away. Love love my Tylenol with codine. Glad you are doing well!! Are any of you home yet?

Im not home..my leak test was great...they changed my died to a more advace diet since im doing well. After dinner i will go home..other then that went awesome and looking forward to the rest...sugar levels are normal..been walking alot..and resting... Glad everyone is safe too.

I'm home now.

Lucky!! They are running labs now...blood pressure to low...but i feel fine...they need to make sure I have no internal bleeding....gross your fingers!!

I will pray for you, they sound like they are being very careful and that is good. If they find any issues early the outcome is so much better. My surgeon just called me at home, to check up on me, love him

welcome home jstachic!

Great ty!! I agree keep u posted

shortstuff4ever78 - did you get to go home last night or did they keep you another night? My mom finally got to go home around 6:15. Of course we hit a ton of traffic. She was happy to be home and in her own bed. I hope they got your blood pressure under control. We could've been out of there earlier, but mom had some sort of allergic reaction to the pill form of the pain med they gave her and broke out in a red, itchy rash so they had to give her some Benadryl.

Hi maggie i just gor home right now...12:48pm...they did keep me another night as a precaution... The gas andmuscle spasms are the worse...but happe to be in ny own bed too

So happy to hear you are back at home. Our new life.....walk, walk, walk, and sip sip sip. It's amazing that I'm not hungry at all. Just liquids until Friday for me; what about you.

Ohhhhh yes, the gases in my body from surgery are finally moving along, abdomen feels so much better

Tjey did a hernia repair so i have a bit more pain then most...however i have been passing gas but not enough... Yes walking and sipping as much as i can. Still very sore esp the hernia area..and my muscles spasam when i drink.

Its nice to be back in my own bed!
