BenisaMartim4 369 Posted February 15, 2012 Hi everyone they started my surgery somewhere round 1:30pm yesterday. My inscisions are doing great almost, no pain or swelling. I do have a boat load of the gas trapped under my diaphragm though that we just can't seem to get unstuck. It is causing esophageal spasms that feel like labour pains in the chest. I have cried off and on all night. I didn't even do that when I had a baby natural. We found out that I was allergic to morphine when I crashed and stopped breathing. The veins in my arm looked as if someone had taken a magic marker and traced them. None of the healthcare workers had ever seen anything like it. They swapped my pain killer to Dillodid and put me on Valumn to try to paralyze the spasms. They are keeping me on Zofron 24/7 because the meds make me nauseated. Other than that, Nae-Nae and I are doing just fine. We have walked a mile, used the restroom three times, had two cups of ice and right now we are getting ready to have a leak test. Ill keep everyone posted about my progress. Ps,everyone please over looolk my drunk typing, because I am flying high 1 AllForMy4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momof4 10 Posted February 15, 2012 I feel ya!!! Had mine Monday early evening. Best thing that helped with that horrible painful gas was having my husband rub in circles on my back. The burps come in waves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
