Mine is scheduled same time today. Besides feeling worn out from 4 weeks preop diet and yesterday's clear diet and prep I'm really just numb. Not nervous or anything. Just so ready for this. I'll definitely update on here as soon as I am able. Prayers too you for uneventful surgery and quick recovery. Hugz

Amen. Good luck!

Well my surgery was scheduled for 9 a.m. by the time they got me back into the surgery room it was 2:30. LOL but all done. Doing great...did my first walk up and down the hallways. Not able to drink yet just swabbing my mouth with a little swabbers. I have my little push button pain thing but after I wake up I know it's been a few hours and it really isn't too bad. I've had multiple other surgeries like gallbladdel,appendix, and hysterectomy...so I have a pretty high pain tolerance and never had a problem. I was trying to post on my blog from my phone but apparently I can't. Pooie. Hope your doing well. Hugz

It almost 4am. Feeling great. Already walked around a couple times. Too many wires and stuff to unhook or I'd love to get up more. Surprisingly the pain is minimal. Of course it does hurt just not too bad. But I do have a high pain tolerance. Of All the things I'm finding the urinary catheter the worst. I can't wait till they take that out hopefully sometime later today. I posted a picture of all my incisions. Apparently I have a total of 9 that's including the drain. From my pre-op class I was told they usually 6. Wonder what the other few were for? Hope all is well. Hugz

Glad to hear that you are doing well! I am doing well also. My surgery went well and I feel good. I must say though the gas pain was bad for me and it lasted for hours! It was not a pleasant time for me. I did however walk a lap around the hallway just hours after surgery. I am happy all is going well for me.

Oh your so beautiful.
I'm so excited for you. Your going to do great.

I was blessed on the lack of gas pain this time. I had that really bad after my gallbladder surgery..
That was the worst thing ever. Ugh... but everything's thumbs up right now. I'm suppose to do a test today to check for leaks. Sounds fun lol... how many days were you told you might stay in the hospital? I was told about 3. I was hoping just to I'm ready to go home already.

Youre beautiful too dear! Yes my gas pain was evil lol. They didnt tell me yet how many days. The nurse just walked in and said that I am now on a liquid diet. So I will be taking my first sip as a new woman lol

iamready4this

I'm doing my first sips now. Every time I sip anything it feels like a huge bubble in my throat like I need to burp. Sometimes it does burp sometimes it just sits there. They said this is normal but it's not very comfortable. So far I've had half of a 8 oz Pure Life water bottle two sips of Crystal Light and two spoons of jello. What a breakfast. Lol

They also just told me I wouldn't be leaving till Thursday for sure. They don't count yesterday the day of surgery at day one and they keep the patients here for three days.

Where do you live? I live 9-10 miles north Nashville.

I feel you with the sips. The burp seems like it gets stuck in my throat. I have had 60 ml of turkey broth and 60ml of decaf tea with one packet of equal. I tried the jello but it leaves such a terribly bad taste in my mouth that I just couldn't. I had some sips of water. Water taste horrible to me right now. I also have no shame in pressing for my pain med morphine. They said they will replace it for Norco pill. The nurse told me I have a nutrition class tomorrow. They have not told me how long they will keep me. I live in the south suburbs of chicago

iamready4this

Oh cool... my husband is a truck driver and that is one of his deliver option is Chicago

Same here on the water. Not the taste for me... just clams up my mouth.
Blah

Well I'm in the early morning of my second day post op. I took myself of the pain pump becauseI was having the same reaction as morphine. Uncontrollable itching. So today I'm feeling the pain. They gave me liquid Tylenol. It's helped some. But still aches. Ecpecially the drain area. Hurts so bad to drink. PAIN all the way down. I know this is all tempoary. I'm pushing on.
