I'm the 31st also.. check in at 5:30am and surgery at 7:30.. so excited but starting to get nervous a bit... I've had 2 c-sections but never anything extensive like this... add me as a friend if you would and check in after surgery if you can... I'm bringing my iPad along to ask questions and keep me company... GOOD LUCK

So glad you're on the 31st as well! I'll definitely check in with you. I'm getting nervous too but I try to keep focus on the end results. I'm in Texas and on central time. Is your 5:30 the same as mine?

Good luck.. did my prep and on just liquids and getting ready to pack my bag.. excited!!

How are you feeling post-op? With pain meds I still have pain/soreness but nothing like when I first woke up! Hope your night is going well!

Sorry fo the delay, couldn't get the app to work. I feel like I am doing pretty damn good. Coming ou in recovery I was super sore from the gas. Once they got me hooked up the meds I was good to go. Out of surgery at 9am nd walking to the bathroom b 9:45... Day progressed well.. Once I got to my room, the gas kicked in again - especially when starting m Water and Protein. I have probably made 10 o 12 laps around he unit and just bumped up my h2o and protein to 60cc's. Just took down my dilaudid pump and switched to hydrocondone elixir that tastes like butt. Having some cramping with drinking but think that has to do with my unexpected hiatal hernia repair. Waiting on the dr to confirm my discharge time.

I'm having the same gurgling/ cramping trying to get liquids down and I think you're right about the hiatal hernia repair! Hopefully it gets better with time!
