Just Had My Surgery Today.

[Sara75 8]

Had my surgery at 11 this morning. All went well although I had a hiatal hernia they had to repair first. I haven't had pain meds in a while and the only thing that's really sore is where my port is anchored.

I can't wait to see what's ahead.

I had surgery today at noon! I also had a surprise hiatial hernia repair. I feel great tonight. Recovery was a breeze, I have a little discomfort from the air they used...my back and shoulders could feel better but so far I'm happy!

Good luck to you on your journey!!

Jen- nice to meet you. I know what you mean about the gas/air, mine was really bad just out of surgery but seemed to have gone away.

Where are you? What city? I live in Wichita but my surgery was in Overland Park, KS.

Good luck to you too.

I had my surgery at noon on the 18th too! I am taking the pain meds every four hours.... just decide to use it to 5 now instead of 4 and so on... Plan is to move to liquid tylenol on Sunday. Feeling fine except I am a little sore on my left where my port is. Good luck to all my band buddies

Thanks everyone. I'm a little sore today but able to get around quite a bit.

How much walking are you doing?

[Sara75 8]

I've been up and around the house quite a bit, and walked to the mailbox(about 200 ft away). My two small kids are making me get up and around more than I really want to at this point.

How are you?

Congrats to all you ladies! Our journeys are just beginning.

[azhoselady 17]

I am okay. I just don't know how much moving I am suppose to be doing. I get up and walk for 5 minutes around my house every hour is this not enough? struggling to get all my fluids in!
