Reminds me of my first caesarean, there was a lady in our ward that was a natural comic. She had everyone in fits of laughter which may be good for those who have had vaginal births but it’s not when you’ve had a Caesarean

I think I may be in the wrong location
I want to live in an Universe where mosquitos suck fat instead of blood, don't you?

Coughing is the pits but I thought I would rip apart when I sneezed right after surgery. You shouldn't have abdominal surgery and have hay fever at the same time! LOL

Coughing (and laughing, honestly) is really important to prevent post-op pneumonia. It might hurt, but you've got to power through it (and take your pain meds to keep in under control). Don't get pneumonia!

That is one of the reasons you have that plastic incentive spirometer to use, keeps you from developing pneumonia, helps get rid of your left- over gas.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
