Surgery was earlier today. The pain was somewhat intense after waking up, but it’s being well managed now! I just went for my first walk around the unit and let out some burps. No gas is coming out the other end yet. Keeping ice chips down, and not sure when I’ll move to medicine cups of water but hopefully soon!

Welcome! I hope your pain stays well controlled. My gas didn't come out the back end until my second day. So just be patient.

CONGRATS I HOPE A GREAT JOURNEY FOR YOU

Seems like you're going well I'm curious did you wake up quickly after surgery or still drowsy from anaesthetic

I was pretty out of it. I came out of surgery at 1030 and was in my room by 1130.. so I woke up rather quickly but then kept dozing off after they brought me to my room. I slept from 1130- 4.

That's okay I'm just trying to figure out for myself whether I'll be out of it for the day or just a few hours as id like to get walking sooner than later when I go in...
