Checking in tomorrow and starting to get really scared

All this pain talk is scary lol. My surgery won't be for months since I'm just starting the process. But that's my biggest fear in all of this. The recovery phase and the pain.

It isn't a walk in the park, but you'll be fine! It's short lived and well worth it.

I am 14 days post op and feel great!!!
Starting soft foods today.
I am so glad I had this surgery.
It was not as bad as I was so scared it would be.
I faithfully did a lot of walking which works for gas pain.
I am now going to gym on treadmill and elliptical which I was cleared to do.
Just no lifting yet.
Iam losing weight very well.
I had no vomiting. I told anesthesiologist to give me something for that and he did.
Dr. Told me to bring Gas X strips to hospital and I did. They work good.
I had all that fear for nothing.
I am taking one day at a time.

I'm five days out and really have not had a lot of pain -- my menstrual cramps are way worse. for me, though, the lack of energy and feeling out-of-it has been the hardest part. it seems like we all have unique experiences.

I'm on Day 2. Still a little discomfort. The trapped gas is the real killer. I keep walking and taking the Gas X. I hope to feel better soon. I'm just so tired.
