Getting ready to head to the hospital

I have to be at the hospital by 12:30 today for surgery. I'm excited but not yet nervous. I have read everything I can about what I will feel like post op and feel ready for this next step in my journey! I pray everything goes well!

    Hi Patty how are you doing? How did it go yesterday?




    I'm doing ok....not in a lot of physical pain actually. I am able to get up and walk...just really sleepy. I did my leak test this morning and everything is fine now trying to drink 1 oz of apple juice and wow it is like the hardest thing ever! It's insane and to think a couple of hours ago I would have gulped this down!

    So I am home and resting now. Not to much gas pain tons of acid reflux though.

    I am struggling to get down the 4ozs per hour but am going to keep trying. Walking definitely helps the pain but so does the pain meds lol

    I will say this when I woke up from surgery yes it felt like I was hit by something because that pain was like no other I have felt before.

    I am so thankful for all the well wishes and am looking forward to sharing my progress!
