[NuStartInTx 31]

5am, leaving for he hospital! If my stomach wasn't empty I'd probably get sick....so much anxiety right now...

[mverges 15]

Here we go everyone!! I'll be thinking of us all today, and I hope everyone feels the prayers!!! I feel a kindred spirit in us all. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this!

I'm sleeved and doing well! My back my biggest complaint, but I don't know if it's from the gas or the awful hospital bed. I'm having stomach cramps or spasms every so often but all in all I'm doing well.

Prayers for all my July 16th buddies

Congrats Laura! I'm sleeved now and doing well too...my surgery took twice as long because apparently my stomach was glued to my spleen and he was trying to avoid having to cut into the spleen (didnt even know this could happen). Even with my CPAP plus oxygen my oxygen drops into the 70s when I fall asleep so I haven't really gotten any rest. Not such a problem today but if this keeps up I will be an unkind peron by tomorrow lol. Best wishes and positive thoughts for all!

I'm doing ok too. The gas bubbles are really the only problem. I'm trying not to be grossed out by my drain. Its crazy to think that we are sleeved! I haven't wrapped my head around it. It's crazy. I hope I can sleep tonight. I haven't been able to pee yet. Which is not exactly good. I don't want to have a catheter. Ugh. Prays for pee please!!

I'm so proud of us all. I know I will need support through all of this. Blessings and prayers for us all.

Thank you! I was finally able to go around 6 this morning. I'm doingok today. The gas pain is the worst. I'm trying to walk as much as I can.

How are you?

[NuStartInTx 31]

Hope everyone is home safe and healthy...I got home late last night, spent a lot of time walking circles in the house and trying o gt my proton in.

How are you feeling? Most of my gas pain is gone. But my incision sites hurt.

[NuStartInTx 31]

After I take pain meds I'm sleepy for about an hour. Then I feel semi good for an hour or two (this is when I get most of my walking in) then my incision sites get super tender until its time for meds again. Also if I sleep for several hours it hurts when I first get up and move around - stretching things out. Getting ready for my first shower! Gas pains less every day. I came out of the hospital burping and now I'm passing a LOT of gas. My little boy thinks that part is hilarious. Every day a tiny bit better. How about everyone else, how are you feeling?

I'm home--- so happy to be home. Doing okay.

They said to walk 20 minutes every 2 hours.

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well! I slept 8 hours in my own bed last night and feel so much better with the rest. I've been sipping broth but having a lot of trouble finding something to drink. Any suggestions? Water is hard to get down. I'm no where near getting enough!

I'm just a little sore, and haven't needed any pain meds at all.

Everyone check in when you can!
