Surgery time.

[BigFatLoser 331]

I'm so nervous for this change that I managed to crap myself in the shower. And I'm a state corrections officer in a men's prison, for Christs sake.

Here we go, everyone. Wish me luck, prayers, good energy, healing, or whatever you believe in- I will take it. Love you all.

I took 2 mini walks today!!!!

Work it girl!!! Good for you!! I've had a few surgeries where they pump you full of gas, and the best/only way to keep it from hurting or get it to stop, is walk your butt off!! Lol Plus, I always found it kept me from getting stiff, which is no fun with new incisions!!

I'm so happy for you! You'll do great!! keep up updated... between naps!! Lol

Kristina, how far and long is walking your b*** off?

Honestly, as much as you feel like you can! I had a lap band, lap band removal and lap band replacement, and all 3 surgeries required a body full of gas!! As soon as I felt up to it, I started walking. It can be deceptive because getting out of bed is the hardest part of the walk! Don't decide you can't walk just because you are sore getting up!! Start walking and see how you feel.

I would walk a couple laps around the hospital floor until I got tired and then go rest for a little while and start over. If you can do 10 mins every hour the first few days without hurting, do it!! After my lap band removal I was stuck in bed from complications with the surgery, and wow could I feel the difference from not walking. That surgery was the worst with gas pain. And pain meds don't help gas pains!! lol Just gotta get moving!!
