Had surgery today :)

[girlgetsLB 34]

Everything went well and as planned.

I've felt woozy and sleepy all day. My tummy feels sore and holy swelling batman!

Walking, using the sprirometer and sipping on ice chips and Water. Kinda got a headache.

But overall went well. Did a any of you have swollen tummies?

Yup I was swollen. It usually from the gas that they fill the area up with so they can maneuver the instruments.

Hey! Had surgery on Monday! day 3 and the swelling has gone down some, but the gas pain is what is the worst! Glad you posted a pic! All my incisions are really close together on my left side of my stomach. One is huge! It only gets better as the days pass! Can't wait to hear how you are doing in a few days!

My stomach looked like I was pregnant after surgery lol. It's all the gas they pump in.

Good to hear other pple went through the same things. I had heard all about the gas but for some reason the swelling I had forgot about. I will let you know how it goes the nexr few days

I think I started getting back to normal at about day 5 or 6. Incisions were bruised and tender for about 2 weeks. I had surg on Friday and went back to Work on Monday. I was sure wishing I had taken a few more days off. Good luck with your journey.
