had my surgery today at 1100

I would say it was a success . ...I wanted to share for those awaiting their surgery

The anesthesia was good, I was joking with the surgical staff then next I was waking up in recovery.

I have a pain pump....not using it excessively. I have not been allowed to sip yet....the dry mouth is no joke! ha ha. I have a swab and ice Water...so that is a plus.

I'm not nauseous....no pain...no gas pressure (yet) I did get up and urinated.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair....I actually feel human again!

I did get an abdominal band....this is a good thing to have.

all is well......hope you don't mind the ramblings....hey, I AM medicated. haha

good night friends!

Hey buddy!! I just had mine on Tuesday and just got home. Glad to hear your journey is also going well! I think we are one of the lucky few with hopefully good surgery and recovery stories! The greatest feeling was coming home and taking a shower. I feel so good now. Just relaxing on my couch watching Netflix now.
