Aprilsnewlife 7 Posted September 28, 2012 Congrats! I'm so excited for you! I am 7 days post op so far and I feel great! Today was the first day I didn't feel like I needed the pain Meds and the gas in my left shoulder is better too! Don't sweat it ! I feel better now than I did getting my wisdom teeth removed! Good luck and word of advice dong weigh yourself for at least a week! Let your fluids come out and the gass get released and your swelling go down! I made the mistake and noticed I gained 4 lb but now I'm finally down! 1 GeekJen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josiec111 7 Posted September 28, 2012 What prep did you do? And how are you feeling post op? Wish you the best. I did the two week all liquid Protein diet (mostly Slim-fast drinks and Atkins Diet Drinks), two days before began the cleansing wash and Listerine mouthwash. I arrived at the hospital at 6:15 am, was taken to pre-op at 7am, and surgery by 8am. Left hospital by 11am. I actually feel decent. I've been up and about every two hours to walk around my home and do a few light activities mainly because the gas has settled under my left shoulder blade. By doing so, the gas has subsided. Important Note: I've taken my Phenergan and the Lortab elixir right on time. We'll see what tomorrow brings !?! Joanna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeekJen 4 Posted September 29, 2012 Surgery went well. I showed up @ 10:30am and was out by 2:30pm I think. Having a rough night tonight, pain in stomach and shoulder sucks and nausea. sleeping on your back sucks! I have been waking up every hour or so. Trying to get sleepy so I can go lay back down.

josiec111 7 Posted September 29, 2012 I slept well, however woke up at 6:30am in major pain and extremely nauseated. My stomach feels like I've done 1,000 crunches! I may have over done it yesterday. Has anyone else had the same experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
