Thank you! Very nervous this AM

Understandable!!! Praying for Peace!

Hope all went well Shelley! Keep us updated!

Surgery went well. In some pain on the left side from gas they said . A little nauseous but they have me meds for that . Hope to be discharged tomorrow

Glad to hear all is Well!!!!! The gas pain-ugh....It will get better!

I hope so I thought I was having a heart attack

What's the average stay in the hospital? I have several friends who did this out patient same day

In my pre-op classes there were four of us. We were all scheduled for outpatient procedures and planned to go home the same day. I went home within a couple hours of my procedure.

I had surgery at 9 am Tuesday and went home about 6 pm Wednesday. Glad I stayed over honestly and yes, the chest pain/pressure was the worst for me! It will get better in a couple days- promise!

Thank you! I hope so do not like this feeling.

I found that back percussion (someone banging on your back) really helped break up the gas for me and felt wonderful. My nurses did it several times and told my husband to do it as needed.

Nice Nikki! Wish I had known that last week. Great share!

I have my husband doing that as well. I'm really sore on the left side that's where my dad rain is
