Good for you...keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. I had mine on Monday and it went perfectly. A little pain at the port site on the left but not horrible. They give you pain meds that help all that. Everyone told me to start walking right away to prevent gas pains and that really worked.....no gass pains.......Yippy I am so glad I did it and want to support any one out there waiting..I am here for you.

How much walking did you do. I am trying to plan this out in my head. I am scheduled for Monday. I would appreciate any prayers. I am afraid of things that are out of my control like anesthesia and flying. - Paula

As soon as I got to my room and started waking up a little more, I had my sister help me out of bed and then walk with me around the med surg floor. I was a little dizzy so good to have someone with you. First stand at your bedside and get your bearings. I just tried to do this about every 1-2 hours. It is easier to move when you have some pain medication on board. As for the anesthesiologist,

you will have a change to talk to him/her about your concerns before you go into surgery. Mine asked me if I wanted a little relaxation medication and I said yes. Nothing like a little chemical courage. I really don't remember anything after that. The next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room. Say a little prayer before you go to sleep the night before and leave it with God. You will be fine. Look at it as a new adventure in your new life. I will say one for you too on Sunday evening. Best wishes and keep in touch.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
