I got my surgery!

  • Popular Post

Okay so yes very much in pain right now and dehydrated. But I'm doing really well. It honestly feels like I did a hard work out and my stomach is sore. The nurses are shocked at how well I'm walking around and say how it doesn't look like I had surgery. So that's good! I'm very blessed and happy everything went well! No regrets!

    Hope you are doing well. You sound like a trooper. It gets so much easier if you get up and move around quickly. Good luck on your journey. I’m about 1 week ahead of you, hope to see you update us on

    My doctor gave me something called hyoscyamine. It melted under my tongue and made the gas go away quick. Call and ask for some. It is AMAZING. The gas can be almost too much to bear.

Ugh. I can't believe I'm just seeing this now! I've been wondering about you. Glad it went well and I'm sure your mom is very relieved

NO, but it's not uncommon to experience allergies after surgery that you didn't have previously, especially if that surgery dramatically impacted your chemical balance. After the birth of my 3rd child, I became highly, dangerously allergic to raw lemon. I was a huge lemon user and suddenly, I couldn't even breathe the air if someone was making fresh lemonade. My doctor explained to me that, for women, this is a common occurrence, if we drastically change the makeup of our body. Childbirth, organ removal, etc. I was shocked.

Sometimes it is temporary, but don't take any chances. If the allergic reaction is dramatic, get an Epipen (the generic one, the branded ones are ridiculously expensive).

Good luck!

So excited for you! Congrats!
