Day 2 Post Op
So, the deed was done yesterday 7/26. After reading everyone's experiences, I have to say that it was still not what I was expecting. The procedure went smoothly but the doctor found a hiatal hernia that had to be repaired as well. So, it hurts when I take deep breaths because she had to put some stiches in my diaphram. I feel moderate pain, which is only really bad when I get up or sit down and I have been taking my pain medication as recommended. I woke up around 2am and actually heard my stomach growl, which shows that its working. Yesterday I was only allowed water but today I progress to liquids.
I was discharged the same day because my insurance didnt pay for overnight but I think it was better to be in my own bed.
Hopefully the pain will continue to subside as the days go on.
