      Hi everyone! Surgery was fine, and I feel great. I hardly have any gas pain, or any pain for that matter. I'd say the hardest part for me so far is the grogginess! I can't seem to snap out of it! Mayb

    Well, I'm not exactly pain free anymore. The IV slipped out of my vein so I wasn't getting the pain meds or potassium chloride correctly--my entire hand and wrist were completely swollen. No Bueno!

    Anyways! Does anyone find that things taste differently after surgery?? Is this normal?? Water and broth have a terrible after taste as opposed to before surgery...

    I've coming out sucks!! Had that happen to me one time when I was in the hospital with an infection. Felt like someone stuffed a baseball under my skin. Hurt like hell!

    Get well! Best of luck to you @@SeaEli!! :)

    I'm sorry you're not doing as well.....but just hang in there. I haven't had my surgery yet, I still have two weeks to go.....but I know I've read where several other people have posted on here that their tastes change completely after surgery, so I'd say what you're experiencing is completely normal. Good luck!!
