Its not like red or warm to the touch it just burns when im walking like the burning feeling of getting a tattoo...I cant take the bandage off til tomorrow to get a better look at it. Im just feeling depressed because I feel like the pain is never gonna go away and im never going to sleep again! Its worse then I thought it was gonna be. Its either my incision or my shoulder but when im walking it definitely my incision with the burning feeling. If I hold my stomach there its a little better but im freaking out!

Omg I was hungry right after surgery! Craving a big ol cheeseburger. So I come home a few hours later and my family was eating fried chicken! I about killed them! So trust me your not the only one and I may be worse cause as soon as I woke up the nurse said "how are you feeling" I said "im hungry!" And she laughed so it sucks but its something we will learn to live with. We can still have our favorite foods once we get to solids we just gotta cook them differently

I have yet to get constipated although I know it will happen between the pain meds and the diet. They said my pain would be on the left side but its mostly on the right side which was also the side with the IV. Thanks for your input

Glad to know im not crazy lol it has been absolutely terrible! It hurts more then my incisions. And im glad im not the only one who woke up in tears. I was afraid they would think im a big ol cry baby! Although I was asking for my mom too. Oh well I dont care how old I am I will always need my mom when I dont feel good! Thank you so much. I try to talk to friends about it but none of them have been through it so they arent very much help.

Im having my surgery done in exactly 9 hours! Im excited and scared all at the same time. Ive been emotional because I know its going to be a huge lifestyle change(in a good way). I just need to sleep but I cant!! I need some reassurance that everything will be fine! Also I have never had surgery before (im only 21) so as weird as it sounds my biggest fear is waking up in the middle of it! (I watch too much greys anatomy) has anyone else had these feelings? Please tell me im not crazy!

Tomorrow is my surgery and im sooo nervous and a little emotional! Any suggestions on how to deal with the nerves? Im going crazy!!

I am having my surgery september 24th and I was wondering how long everyone took off work...ive was told whenever I feel well enough but I have to give my job a specific time frame. I work with people with disabilities so It can be hard work! Please let me know some of your opinions?!

I have bcbs and my very first appointment was about 2 monthes ago and im havingy surgery this coming up Tuesday. It may just be the dr. I have 1 pysch appointment, 2 visits with dietitian, 2 physicals, and the labs, ekg, chest xray. It was a pretty easy journey.
