Surgery in a few hours!

Hey guys! So I’m up early (4am here) so that I can get to the hospital at 5:30 for check in. I am a bundle of nerves, and even have quite the turning tummy! I hope it goes away once I get there! Anyways, I appreciate any prayers and well wishes for today. This is my first surgery ever! So I’m not sure what to expect. I can’t wait to join everyone on the losers bench! I’ve been working towards this for so long!! Well thank you guys and I will check back in later and let you all know how it went!! ???

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Last night was a struggle. Can’t keep any fluids or medicine down. If I ingest anything it comes right back up when I’m trying to sleep. This morning I called my hospital program and they are trying to get my in the hospital for IV fluids to avoid me getting too dehydrated prayers are still welcomes for me to get past this funk. Thank you guys!

Hang in there. The first week is the worst and then it gets better. I'm glad you called your doctor. Take Care of yourself. We'll all be here for you.

@AshAsh12 Continued prayers that they get it figured out and you feel better soon!

Praying for your speedy recovery, get well soon and keep us posted!

Oh AshAsh! Praying for you right now. Keep us posted

@AshAsh12 It seems you have a positive attitude about it so that's great. Keep your head up, they'll get you all squared away. Hopefully soon and then no more issues.

Hang in there! Gets better around day 4 or 5.... hope it does for you too!

Aww you guys are the best! I feel better after getting IV fluids for 4 hours today, they also have me scheduled to come back tomorrow and Saturday for more fluids in the IV. I will say, that I can tolerate WARM liquids better than room temperature. That was a suggestion from my program coordinator. I find that it doesn’t stick in my esophagus as bad. Also I’m hoping by the time I’m finished with my IV fluids that my stomach swelling will be down enough for me to drink. I also haven’t been able to do the medications as well so I can’t wait to be able to get into those some more. I’m just thankful that my incisions haven’t been that bad! Thanks guys!! ??? here’s to positive thinking!
Ash Ash you are a little trooper, no matter what your road back to health throws in your way, you stay upbeat and positive. Plan,on taking a leaf from your rulebook when my time comes!?
So happy that over all the recovery is going well.
