Well

Woot! Best wishes on the road ahead:) Yay healthier you!

Glad to hear

I’m now gone after getting my surgery done Monday, feeling good. Was a bit full of gas 1st night but didn’t merit any pain relief. Here’s to a New Beginning x

My surgery was 7:30 am today. Feeling great, walking laps on unit, meeting fluid goals, minimal discomfort. Hoping it stays this way.

Thanks! The only problem I have right now is dry mouth and water retention but neither of those are a major problem. I also had my lap band removed . No pain or hunger yet!

I had gas but I just burped it out. It didn't come out the other end Very surprised at the lack of pin today. I my have some pain down the road but not the day after surgery! I also had lap band removed. No problem getting my liquid down today either! Good luck!

way to go! similar experience for me, none of my big fear happened (not being able to get fluid in, vomiting, uncontrolled nausea or pain) and I felt surprisingly good for most of my first day post-op. I start full liquid tomorrow, crossing fingers that goes well too.

Oh nice, another 2/23rd’er. Mine was at 7:30am. I’m glad you feel great already, that’s awesome. I’m feeling pretty good too with no hunger pains. However I have twinges of pain from the gas. Oh god does the gas make for an unpleasant time lol.

Hi yeah I’m feel good. I had some issues once I started eating the day after surgery with the food and gases was giving me some jip got quite emotional, surgeon booked me in for a X-ray just to double check everything before she discharged me used and yeah all was good. I think it was a mix of no sleep added to my emotions. But now this morning I’ve been able to dip n lick my teaspoon with no issues.
So much more relaxed and feeling very positive.

Congratulations everyone I’m glad things went well for you all and it is definitely giving me some hope for my upcoming surgery. It’s nice to hear that not everyone has a bad or unpleasant journey definitely helped with my anxiety.

Hey we have the same surgery date! Day 2 post op today and a tad of belly pa. I am going to take one pain pill instead of 2 and see how that works. Good luck and stay in touch.

I have anxiety as well. I took my clonazapam the night before and they gave me one the night I was in the hospital. That first day you have surgery you will probably sleep a lot. You are going to do great...Don't sweat it!

I was able to burp it out! That helped a lot, the staple line on my belly has remarkably not created any pain as I expected. I was super sleepy yesterday and only going to take an occasional pain pill today. I took 2 every 4 hours yesterday until bedtime and just took one. I have had no problem with fluids. I was afraid I might be drinking to much but the nurse that called this morning said the more water the better,Stay in touch
