Sep 24. the door to a long and healthy life

Hi all, I am 15 hours post op and things are going well. minimal gas pains, mostly left sided neck pain that is manageable/tolerable. Hiatal hernia repaired. I am taking the pain meds right on schedule just in case but for now it is better than I thought it would be. I have to sleep in an upright position tonight because of the sleep apnea.

I made it!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! Surgeon said liver was in excellent shape because of the pre op diet so the surgery went quick. I dozing off now as I type so it must be time for another cat nap.

Bye all. :drool:

Congratulations!

Hey bnwalker - how is it going for you. My abdomen seems to be coming along nicely. Left shoulder pain from gas is a real "pain". Toots are coming easier every day but I can't wait for them to resolve fully.

How has your Fluid intake been? I am looking forward to getting off clear fluids and into vegetable juices and milk starting tomorrow.
