moorecr 70 Posted July 20, 2013 Hello Everyone:) I had my surgery on July 16,2013 and from what my doctor is saying I'm doing really well! My first few days I was in some pain but he staff at Yale new haven hospital were amazing. I thank God that today I'm feeling awesome besides some soreness and these gas bubbles that really hurt. Been walking as much as possible have not weighed my self just yet I have my follow up appointment on July 29th I'm going to try and wait till then:) well see how that goes ....it really helps to have the support of people who love you once I had woken up and felt the pain I was like omg what did I do but with there help support I am feeling quiet fabulous. One think I wanted to asked is does anyone know how to help with this gas those bubbles can be painful Tootle:) 4 neneh_vsg, TES, Mayfly and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PGee 318 Posted July 21, 2013 congratulations!!!! So nice to hear @ five days you're doing so well. If you don't mind my asking, who did the surgery? I'm going with Dr. Floch out of Norwalk,....Yale would have been much closer.....but he came highly recommended by 2 people I know......plus...I know too many people at Yale, making it hard to keep this quiet LOL It's so nice your family was there to support you!

I truly feel blessed with my progress! Dr Roberts at Yale performed my surgery he was very nice and even visited me a few times while I was in the hospital. I know what you mean about keeping it quiet there were a few people I knew there it was kinda awkward. Lol I heard abt a Dr in Norwalk but that would have been too far for my family and I definitely needed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
