DALITEDESIGNS 1 Posted November 30, 2009 well after all that worrying the surgeon just told me I was a text book operation - and took less than an hour the liver was small and there was not a lot of fat around it. Hopefully i will be out tuesday night. I hate to say this but im sort of enjoying the break. Dalite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DALITEDESIGNS 1 Posted November 30, 2009 ive got alot of wind in my chest which is sore and a headache is this normal im also drinking quite a lot - is that alright- i dont feel full yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted November 30, 2009 Congrats Dalite Enjoy your break, your drugs, and your new stomach. The wind and the headache are normal - the "wind" due to the gas they pump you with for the surgery - try a heating pad on your back and/or chest, it helps. As for the headache, more than likely due to the anesthesia. Both will dissipate in due course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolyn24seven 11 Posted November 30, 2009 Congratulations Dalite! You are doing wonderful. No worries sleeve~sister. You will go thru alot of differernt emotions, just ride them out. I do not blame you at all for enjoying the rest. You will be back at the front soon enough. Rest peacefully/blissfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bornagainbabe 4 Posted November 30, 2009 If the headache gets bad stop the morphine. I didn't have any after day 1 as it made me so ill and the post-op pain was easier to bear than the headache from hell. Ask for a non-opiate based painkiller if you need it x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bornagainbabe 4 Posted December 1, 2009 Good one! Was really worried when I saw your previous post and was going to tell you to ask for some different painkillers! You're obviously sorted out now. Make sure you get plenty of rest at home x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
