Surgery is running late. My surgeon came to check up on me and told me about another thirty minutes. Looks like 10am then.

and I'm super hungry!!! ?

I am waiting. I have my IV and just waiting for the doctors to come in and talk to me.

I am guessing you are already in surgery @Newme17 or in recovery. Praying you are doing well.

Thank you. I Just got my happy pill to help with anxiety. So it won't be long now. Feel groggy now.

So tired. Gas is expelling through burps. Due to get up for walks in 30 mins.

Happy Saturday everyone. This time tomorrow I will be on a plane headed to San Diego, and then a car drive over the border to Mexico.
I slept amazing last night. It was the first time in over 5 days. I have a lot to do today so I better get moving. I am going to pick up my granddaughter and spend a few hours with her today and see my grandson and daughter also.
Have a great day everyone [emoji1]

Where will you be getting surgery done? I'm going for revision on 22nd

I was like that too. I woke up from surgery very nauseous and I had a couple of dry heaves the first few hours. My gas pains are worse than anything else. I feel it in my chest right between my breasts. I haven't walked much yet because everytime I stand up I feel so nauseous I am afraid I will throw up.

Did your throat hurt? Mine is a little sore.

I hope everyone is doing ok. I am already feeling a little better and I am thinking today I wii be able to get more walking done.

That is great @Sweet as peaches. I have only been allowed ice chips so far. I will have a leak test this morning and once I pass that I will have broth and jello.

I was pretty groggy yesterday also and nauseous. I feel much better today and was walking around my floor at 5 am.

I hope you get to go home today!

I had my surgery yesterday with Dr Ilan here in Tiajuana. My experience has been great thus far.

Good morning, all. I'm a day behind, headed to check-in now, scheduled for surgery at 10am. Nervous beyond words. Keep us posted with your progress, congrats and speedy recovery to you both!

I have to go home in a hospital gown cause my daughter took my clothes and we live in a whole another area which 200 miles away.

I had a rough night last night. Diloton (sp) was not my friend. Lots of nausea and dry heaving.

However, today is a new day! No nausea, very sore, gas pains in my neck and shoulders.

I had my leak test at 6am - everything looks good. And they just served me my breakast/clear liquids tray.

If all goes well with my protein shake at lunch, I'll get to go home. Yay!

The nausea is the worse for me. They gave me a cocktail of meds this morning. I'm feeling a tad bit better. I couldn't even look at the liquid breakfast they sent me. Nurse says most patients don't bother. Lol

my throat did hurt a little. Ice chips seemed to help with it, although it was painful in the stomach.
