melidawn 15 Posted January 26, 2013 The surgery went well today. The gas in my stomach and left arm are the worst pain but it's been a little easier with walking and heating pad. The cuts made are uglier than I imagined, hopefully they fade well. I'm so ready for this journey. Thanks everyone for all the wonderful pre-op advice. It really helped me to make my way to the post open side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueBee01 630 Posted January 26, 2013 Congratulations! Keep walking a little each hour. It really helps with the gas. Make sure you are drinking all the time. Keep a glass with you at all times. You will forget and since we can't drink a lot at one time you can easily fall behind and you don't want to become dehydrated. Best to you! Welcome to the losers club.
