Had My Surgery 10Am Turs



Recommended Posts

Ll be honest, having a rough time. I'm told 2 out of 10 have bad swelling of the stomach afterwards. I am one of the unfortunate ones.

Took my swallow test yesterday and nothing would pass due to swelling.

I refused to have them remove my drain & IV. Too soon. Listen to your bodies folks. Don't let them rush you.

It is most important to walk and try to release gas/air. Very painful. Morphine is my best friend.

I'm sorry things have been rough. Hopefully the swelling will go down and you'll heal quickly!

Yes, they do take the IV away too quickly. I was afraid that I would get dehydrated due to not being able to drink enough fluids. Take advantage of the morphine as long as you can, it does help. The swelling will go down soon. :)
