My surgery was on the 23rd and I just got home, so I only needed one night in the hospital. As of today my pain and nausea have been well controlled and I have been able to get in 4 ounces of liquid about every 30 minutes. my cute little banana tummy is being a total champ! this is probably helped by my surgeon's aggressive anti-inflammation protocol, so thank you Dr.! The most annoying thing right now is that when the tube down my throat during surgery it scrapped my uvula (the dangling thing at the back of the throat) so it's now all swollen and bruised and it feels like I have a big skin flap in my throat. Could be worse, so I'm not complaining.
How about the rest of you who had your surgery this week, how are you feeling?
