Smoggy 152 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm still in the hospital, was sleeved about 18 hours ago- quite a bit of pain at first but not at all as bad as I thought it would be. The meds are helping and I'm going for a swallow test shortly. Then I can sip Water and walk some more. Saluting you all from the losers bench! 6 Kiki Von Moonshine, mizzliz83, StarshineMama and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faganberry 43 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm all done! Got back to my room about 4 hours ago. Dr Garcia and staff are all beyond any expectations. I've never been so cared for by medical professionals. I have ZERO pain except for gas pain in my shoulder. 4 Smoggy, mizzliz83, CBT and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I'm doing great, minimal gas, no nausea and a touch of soreness at the incisions. Water is going down with no trouble, I've had 16 oz this morning. 1 Smoggy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letsdothis!!! 42 Posted July 4, 2012 Hey guys, had my surgery yesterday. Surgery was at 7:15 i was discharged to go home at two. Did have lots of gas pain and nausea. Don't know which was worse probably nausea. Took some phengren at home and wanted to throw up but jut kept swallowing and everything stayed down. Drinking everything is a breeze! Everything stays down fine! Im so happy! Walking really does help! as much as you want to lay down if you walk I promise it heals you. I was feeling pretty bad all day but by 8 I was feeling great because of all the walking. Today I am feeling super! Only pain is from the incisions and i am taking percocet for that and it is managing well. Taking Vitamins and pepcid starting today and it is fine! ALready drank a Protein Drink this morning and is also tolerated well! Do not fret you guys you can and will do this! Prayers and well wishes for all! XOXO 1 Smoggy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
