My surgery was the 24th. I had no nausea, but the gas pains were terrible. I also ended up with a partially collapsed lung from misplacement of the breathing tube, but the worst pain for me is the left shoulder. Does anyone else have this issue?

I’m 4 days post op. I have chest pain and can’t breathe deep due to a collapsed lung that happened during surgery. Had this happened to anyone else? Also, when they pulled the drainage tube, it was the worst pain of my life. I know eventually it will be worth it, but I’m hurting right now.

That’s great! Mine is tomorrow morning and I’m SO nervous!

My surgery is Tues July 24th. I’m in day 5 of the liquid diet. I have had nothing but 3-4 protein shakes and water each day . I was wondering what everybody else’s pre op liquid diet consisted of.

My pre-op diet started July 11 and my dr will only allow me 3-4 shakes a day and water. That’s it.
