    pain

    i am one day post op and have the same pain. I'm assuming it is mostly gas, but I can feel it tighten up more after I drink something. I was surprised when my doc said that when we feel full it will be that high up (right under breasts) I guess I never thought of my stomach being up that high...i guess it makes sense. Good luck with everything
  2. okay..my surgery was this morning at 7:30 and I was home by 11:00. My doc said to only drink two ounces at a time which I understand, but my question is how often can i drink that two ounces? I'm sure this sounds silly but i really don't know. thanks!

    3 days Post op

    Too funny...as I was laying in bed after i got home all I could think about was what my hubby could run out get me to eat. Guess i'll blame that on the pain meds.I've stopped taking them because of headaches. I think the most pain comes from the gas and my doc said I could have Mayloxx.
  4. You're going to do great on Monday Barbara! I just had mine done Friday and was home a few hours after surgery...just rememer to walk afterwords (a little bit) becasue you will have some gasses building up pressure. If you are at all stressed about it just go through some of the before and after pictures they have posted. When I got home I had a breakdown about food already...the pics of others success and my children got me through it! Good luck i'll be thinking about you! Where are you having it done? I'm in Frisco TX. We'll have to get together for a "souper" lunch some day since we'll both be on liquids :)

  5. Happy "new birthday" yesterday! I'm glad you are feeling good and that everything went well. I think the gas is what hurts more than anything. How is your port hole? Well congrats again sweetie!
  6. Well I did it! I'm about 12 hours post-op. Had a little meltdown tonight about not eating whole food for 5 weeks, but looking at peoples before and after pics helped me get through it. Thanks for all the support. I'm glad that there are others in the same month that we can all share with.:thumbup:
  7. I am also using Dr. Hamn. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (8-8) Where did you get it done? I'm a cash patient so have to go to Precision Surgery Center in Dallas. Do you guys meet with any support groups on a regular basis (i'm in Frisco).
