    my surgery experance and more questons

    I had to be at the hospital at 6:30am.I waited and waited till around 11:30 before they were finally ready for me. (i almost walk out at leat 5 times) finally they got me all ready with nice tight socks an iv and a really cool gown that kept me warm and i was off to wait some more. they had me in the pre surgical waiting room for like another hour and a half. I must have cried the hold time i was there. Then finally my doctor came in to see me. He calmed me down a bit then off i went. The helped me to change beds in the or the all of a sudden i hear some one say goodnight and i was out! I remember waking up in a crazy amount of pain. They had to change my iv and couldnt get in it in fast enough i had woke up with no paid meds. Finally they got it in and i had pain relief. I had to stay in the recovery room for hours because they didnt have any rooms upstairs. Finally at around 6pm i got a room. I Did fine. No vomiting...ect.did my walking ect. I felt really good the next morning. walked again. Had a upper GI then i was released to go home. Now this is where i have run into some trouble. I feel like i have to burp really bad and cant. almost like indigestion. I have only had liquids. I am taking gas x but nothing. Is this normal? HELP!!!!!!!:blushing:

    tomorrow is the day!

    Tomorrow is my surgery day! I am ready to just say lets forget the hole thing. I am so scared! I am mostly scared for my family. I laid in my bed with my oldest son last night and just looked and him and started balling! I want to watch him grow up.Then i think there is a better chance that i wont if i don't have surgery. Yesterday my om told me, " you know you still back out". Kinda made things worse. I want to hear "your going to fine". Encouraging words. Why is that so hard. My husband told me a few days ago that he was proud of me! I was happy to know that he being supportive. I know he is just as scared as i am. I think he knew how i was feeling last night and he just kinda stood away from me. How do i not think about this all day. I have so much to day today!:mad:
  19. Yes i am on clear liquids. its not as easy as i thought.
