May 2023 surgeries

KE and Lindsay, I'm sorry recovery is rough. I really hope all the pain and discomfort eases asap. Can I ask what pain meds they're giving you? Do they give anything for the gas like degas? I'm wondering if I should bring some in myself next week.

Keep your spirits up, this is just a small part of a life changing journey. Hugs.

Nothing helps for the gas pain except walking. They had me on dilaudid and oxy for pain.

I survived! Recovery is rough, especially the first 24 hours. For me it was the nausea more than the pain. I absolutely hate being sick at my stomach and I vomited a couple times on surgery day and day 2 post op. Plus the taste of my toothpaste made me nauseous this morning. So weird. Feels like morning sickness all over again! 😂😂😂 but medicine does help!

Same here. They gave me some gas x but it did nothing really… I really haven’t gotten much relief from the gas pains until today (2 days post op). Today is a lot of soreness and feeling like my abdomen area is under a lot of pulling sensations when standing up, sitting down, and walking. It is getting better though… I also had a hernia repaired and that hurts a pretty good bit itself too…

Thanks. I'm doing OK, but not great. Everything tastes nasty, the liquid meds are awful, the pain comes and goes, but manageable. It's been a hard week to be honest.

Had my surgery yesterday! Everything went well and I should be going home later today.

@LindsayT I'm really sorry recovery is being so rough on you. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

@ajrp001 great to hear from you! Wishing you a continued great recovery!

Lots of us having surgery next week! I'm definitely starting to feel the nerves but am so excited.
