Any February Sleevers?

[yvosantino 0]

I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

I had mine on 2/8. Congrats!

My surgery was yesterday morning. It was a long day waiting, check in at 7 am for a 1 pm surgery. I learned I have bad veins and the nurses couldn't get an IV line into me. The anesthesiologist had to do it using an ultrasound.

I woke up with a lot of gas pain and was miserable for a couple of hours. But once I was given the dilaudid I felt much better. There was an initial wave of nausea when it went into my IV, then it went away and so did the pain, and it made me sleep well.

The overnight nurse was wonderful, was attentive and had me up walking a couple of times. Then the shift change this morning, I'm not sure if they were understaffed, or what, but nothing went right, no pain mgmt, no Breakfast to get me started on liquids. Even though my Dr gave the ok to discharge at 7 am I didn't get to leave until 3pm, so that kinda sucked. My surgeon said the surgery went well, and took 40 minutes.

Been just resting since I've been home. Slow going on the Water and Protein Drink. Been keeping up with the Tylenol Codeine I eas prescribed, but learned that is a bad idea on an empty stomach. So I followed that up w a Zofran. Looking forward to being past the pain, and able to move easily and sleep on my side

Day 2 post op here ... I'm feeling remarkable good! Lots of energy and very little pain. I wasn't feel great all day yesterday, so I'm relieved I seem to be recovering quickly!

That’s sooo great to hear! I went back to school today can totally tell that my energy is down and I’m not as attentive as I usually am. I’m getting all my Protein in so I’m super happy about that!

So glad to hear you are having a great recovery. I am still in pain. Not so much gas more of the sutures. Getting up and around is very painful. I hope it gets better. I am suppose to go back to work next week. [emoji17]
