sbb1222 112 Posted September 26, 2012 September 27th here! I am so excited and so terrified at the same time! I have done very well on liquid pre-op diet, lost 11 pounds so far. That is exciting to me! Hope all the other September bandsters are doing well! 1 NurseLydsss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being on this app i've learned that everyones body truly reacts differently. I have a low tolerance for pain. Keep taking your anti gas meds and walk as much as possible. I found Hot Drinks and rubbing moved my gas. For me the worst of it all was my gas pains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4Kimmy2 56 Posted September 28, 2012 I had my surgery Tuesday and came home yesterday. I am sore by the biggest incision and I know when i'm gonna burp quite a bit because my shoulder will hurt. I've been sipping and walking. I'm nervous to last on my side. At the hospital I am so happy that I brought chapstick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SusieSunshine 68 Posted September 28, 2012 I can't believe you guys didn't get to stay in the hospital overnight. I wish I could have stayed two nights better drugs and pampering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though they gave me se liquid pain meds, I really miss my PCA pump :'( Fortunately ilL don't have any gas pains (as of yet) so I'm not too bad off.
