I am so glad you are okay and your nausea wasn’t too bad. I will keep that burp tip in my pocket for my turn. Take care of yourself.

Workin on it.

Thanks for the tip! I have always have post op nausea/vomiting so I have contacted my surgeon and requested this medication or something similar. I am waiting to hear back - keeping my fingers crossed. [emoji4]

My pharmacy had to order it, but it only took a day, and my insurance paid. It cost me $10.

I am out of surgery and I had a little bit of nausea, but that finally subsided. The gas however took a bit longer, Drinking hurt big timed, so I did what any mother would do... I patted and rubbed my chest until I burped.. It was the most wonderful burp I've had today. I'm feeling sooooo much better. How are the rest of the 11/8's?

I’m now a week post-op & it really is amazing how much better you feel each day. Even at day 3 I️ was worrying about how I️ could possibly work feeling like this. By day 5 I️ easily could have been at work. Just keep walking and burping!

On it.. Also I found that sugar free popcicles are my friend. A little trick I learned is to have a little bottle sprayer that I spray a little Water in my mouth to wet it and I get to sip the water.

What have people done for raising their bed? I am thinking if I just get a wedge pillow I will just slide over and off of it. I was thinking (redneck style) and putting cinderblocks under the mattress but the nurse said that won’t work. I can’t put risers under the feet of my bed. Any suggestions?

I had a rough start to recovery. My BP plummeted yesterday morning and I passed out. They said I had a small bleed. I got blood transfusion and bolus IV's. My heart rate has been high. Feeling better today.

I'm glad you're feeling better today. So am I. Everyday is going to get better and better.. I know it.

I am glad you are both feeling better. The bleed must have been scary. It’s my turn in one week, but I have had good luck with surgeries, so I am calm.

You'll do great then. I was very calm before my surgery. I took it one day at a time. I knew there would be some bumps but that's okay.. bumps help you learn how to use your new tool.

Thank you. I am excited to get past the 14 day liquid diet. I am on day 6, but it is really day 7 because I was in LA for business and did Soup on day 1. [emoji3][emoji106]

Today’s the day! Super excited!
