I know where you're coming from. I woke up from recovery thinking, "My God! What have I done to myself!!!!!!!!!??????????"

I read so many posters saying, This was so easy - I had no pain or nausea - Only 3 days and back at work. I was hoping for the same easy path, but I was in real pain for about 6 days.

I couldn't eat much more than a couple of nibbles of a popsicle or a bite or 2 of sugar free Jell-O.

My stomach gurgled almost constantly - all day and all night. Sleeping more than an hour or two was the limit before the pain would wake me up.

But things kept getting better and by day 8 I was doing MUCH better and on day 10, I was back at work with no pain or discomfort.

It's day 31 for me, and I would do it all over again - as long as I didn't know about the pain thing

Things will get better, I promise. Just hang in there.

"not even one lil poof, notta piff, notta fuff"

LOL!

I love your soliloquy. I'm getting sleeved on Weds, Jan 30th and your message made me smile despite my fears.

Great writing! Good Luck!

I love this MrsGina. Yes, you will be great and it will all be worth it. You can see by the hundreds of people on here just like you! All of your comments are so true and so good for others to hear. If I had done this alone a few weeks ago without this site, I would have been a mess. Everything is similar to peeps experiences.

Good Luck MrsGina, but I am doubtful you will need it

Wonderful, inspiring words that I hope to remember as I go under.......lol!! Good Luck!

While reading this post it felt as if I was the one who had wrote it! I didn't get the "easy" surgery! I had it all! the vomiting, nausea, horrible gas pains! I am 4 weeks out and still have my days that I question whether I did the right thing but as you say what's done is done and no turning back now! I do have good days but I am no where near 'I would do it all over again" phase!

Hang in there!
