Getting nervous as it gets closer. I would love to know any and all info about how you feel after surgury. Painful? Hungry? Sick? Losing weight? Anything would be helpful?

yes i had this in june

i healed quick (alittle shoulder pain for about 5 days but nothing pain meds couldnt help)

i had gallbladder surgery a few years ago so this was the same surgery and i wasnt scared at all

i looked at this at taking care of me and controlling my life and making myself well.

i wasnt sick (went #2 alot but that was the fluids in and fluids out thing) but imodium ad works (ask your dr always).......otherwise, i highly recommend it, hope this helps

You may experience shoulder pain from gas. I am one of the few who got sick with anthesia and nausea for two days. Once the anthesia wore off I was fine.

By the way, if you are one that does get sick from anesthesia (if you have had it before and know this), tell your dr. They can give you meds to counteract it. I had an appendectomy some years back and was MISERABLE after surgery w/ nausea. I told them this time so they put some meds in my iv during surgery and a patch behind my ear to counteract it and I had no issue with it this time.

i told them the same thing and they jacked up me with med in iv and the patch behind my ear and i wasnt sick to my stomach not once.

Thanks everyone! So ready to just have it done. I spend my time worrying that I will be the one person who has this surgery and then does not lose weight. haha I hope thats not possible.
