[mocanitanj 31]

Hi sleevers I would like to know how did you feel when you woke up from surgery? I'm a little nervous about my surgery. I feel all types of emotions right now. Thank you:-)

It took me 6 hours to wake up in the recovery room!! I was so drowsy and nauseous! All I wanted to do is sleep and have my husband drop ice chips in my mouth lol

[mocanitanj 31]

Thanx for your reply:-) was u in alot of pain?

[jenniferhm 10]

Nope no pain till a few hours after.. As soon as it would start I would ask for pain meds!! I kept it under control

Mine was 7 months ago. It didn't hurt inside at all just the stitches were killing me for a week you know like with any surgery it's hard to get up. Be patience every single day gets better. And one Huge thing to remember WALK WALK WALK it doesn't matter how much the stitches or anything else hurt trust me walking makes u feel much better. Good luck!!!

I felt like I had heartburn and then felt nauseous when they wheeled my bed from recovery to my room. Once I was in my stable bed in my room I went straight to sleep for several hours and felt fine aside from the annoyingly loud nurse who decided to shout at her coworkers in the hallway

Thank you girls that made me feel so much better:-) I'll keep in mind alot of walking! :-)

I was groggy of course but otherwise I was fine. I didn't have any problems with pain . I asked the nurse to discontinue the morphine pump the second day because it was making me so groggy I couldn't get up and walk around. I was extremely surprised that I wasn't in any pain...of course I had some soreness at my incisions..but I didn't have what I consider to be pain. I was really worried my stomach would cause me pain but it didn't at all. Honestly that blood thinner shot hurt more than anything! LOL...it felt like a hornet stung me!

I'm so glad that you posted this, because I'm really freaking out about my surgery, too.

I don't even remember recovery room AT ALL. I only remember being moved to my bed on the floor. And no sore throat at all. Just pain in one of the incisions. Good luck

I had mines Monday 11/26/12 and I woke up groggy , and dizzy but dud have abdominal pain but all I said was I'm hurting and they gave me meds and that was the end of that . In all honesty you will be sore but it's bearable if you have had a child you can deal with this type of pain.

I had asked my anesthesiologist when he saw me right before surgery to please give me extra dose of zofran at the end of my case. So i woke up with no nausea and no pain. I remember thinking when i woke up that "wow, it doesnt hurt like i thought it would." They also had removed my foley catheter so i had to get up to go to bathroom often. I think that helped alot too, walking.

I honestly thought the worst part of surgery was the drain tube being removed!! Very uncomfortable feeling..

I don't remember anything between the time the anesthesia came to pre op and gave me something in my IV to the time I was already in my room. Very uncommon for me I usually remember everything for transferring myself into the OR table to being extabated after I wake even with Versed. Not this time, I was knocked out. I had a dilauted pump so I could medicate myself every 8 mins as needed and I don't remember much the first two days except being nauseas. As soon as they stopped the pump, I was no longer nauseas. I was in ICU for 3 days so I wasn't allowed out of bed, but once they transferred me to the floor I was off and running. It really felt good to walk and I was nicknamed hustler by the nurses because I was walking fast and a lot! Lol I told them I was working on my escape. Ill be praying for you! The surgery is not bad at all, wisdom teeth is still number 1 for the worst surgery I've had and I've had many major surgeries besides!

My surgery was November 5th. I remember waking up in the recovery room just being sore around my stomach but no actual pain till day 2. I was emotional because I remember when they were rolling me back for surgery I was so scared I started crying a bit. Once I went to my room where my mom was I was okay
