Let us know how you are when you can xx

Hey! I’m still in the hospital, not much belly pain but SUPER tired. And of course the nurses come in constantly ?? The biggest pain I have is the air/gas they use to blow up your cavity to make it easier to see everything during surgery. Some of that gets trapped and moves up to the chest/ shoulder area. I’ve been doing little tiny burps but honestly, I’m ready for a BIG GNARLY BELCH! ? Too bed I can’t have a couple sips of Diet Coke, that would make me burp for sure! Happy to be on this side of the journey though! Good luck to everyone else!

Hi @Neely oh bless you

I’ve heard the gas pain can be bad for some.

A few days have passed now I hope you are in a lot less pain. How are things with you ? Are you ok ? X

OMG. I Just got home today! They kept me the first night because it was 6pm and I had pretty much slept the entire time since surgery. Then yesterday morning they were discharging me, took my IV out and everything. All of a sudden I couldn’t keep the tiniest bit of water down. Miserable. So they kept me another night. Had to re do the IV (and none of my veins wanted to play nice). So I got home about 2pm today. My worst pain in the gas that is still trapped in my chest. Ugh. Hopefully that will go away soon. Glad to be home! ❤️

Oh bless you. Not an easy start for you then @Neely keep sipping now because you don’t want to go back in. Maybe go for a few fresh air walks tomorrow and the gas pain will move ,, onwards x

good luck how are you feeling I just had mine done on the 7th

Congratulations!! Not long to wait at all! It will be here before you know it ??

I feel SOOOO much better today! Praise God! It’s unreal! I had a couple rough days but now I’m rebounding. Woo-hoo! My incisions are tiny (to me) and look like they are healing well. Don’t let the first couple of days post op get you down. If you struggle. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! ❤️

Isn't it amazing how much work they can get done through such tiny openings? At 6 months, unless you know where to look it's hard to find mine among the stretch marks of 3 9-pound babies. Only one easily seen is the top one where Dr Needleman put in the liver retractor and that's only because it was unblemished up there just below the sternum and between my mammary endowments. The other 6, they're still around but no one would be interested in looking for them. And at 73 I have resigned myself to 1 piece swimwear, sure couldn't rock a bikini? even at my smallest.
