missvickie 32 Posted August 29, 2013 how my African American system I just asleep I'm home now and resting. my doctor said everything went fantastic.

prettilips3 15 Posted August 29, 2013 Hey people, I am 3-days post-op! 8/19 and feeling good. I am getting my fluids in taking anti gall stone pills and prilosec along with all liquid vitamins from C, B-Complex, B-12, multi, hair nails skin, Calcium caltrate among other things. What's puzzling to me is I havent read anyone else discussing giving shots 2x to the abdomen after surgery. They are blood thinners but I was terrified but I did it. So happy. HW: 285 SW: 270 GW: 160 I got the shots too. Was bruised like crazy afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
