HoosierMom 6 Posted September 14, 2013 How are you HoosierMom? I am doing well. Surgery wasn't as bad as I thought. I was a little nauseated but I think that was from the pain meds. I'm back at the Marriott now. Are you pre or post op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierMom 6 Posted September 15, 2013 I'm going with dr Ishmael Cabrera. So how many nights total are you staying. I'm getting nervous. Well I am going to stay 5 nights all together. I came in a day early and going to leave a day late. I was more nervous about traveling than the surgery. It really has not been scary at all. Everyone is real nice. Also if you go alone there is usually someone you meet that is alone too. Last night we got out and walked around the hotel a little. Then we got tired so we went our separate ways and ordered room service broth. The pain has been bearable. It kinda comes and goes. This morning I feel real good. Just took a shower. We have to go back to the hospital today. I think they are going to take the drain tube out. Can't wait for that. Let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to answer them. 1 Trophy wife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trophy wife 11 Posted September 15, 2013 So good to hear your doing so well. I've had a few surgeries thru the years I always do very well. And I have a high tolerance for pain. My daughter and I are having sleeve the same day. Do you have five incisions? Thanks. I'm from columbus. Where are you from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierMom 6 Posted September 16, 2013 So good to hear your doing so well. I've had a few surgeries thru the years I always do very well. And I have a high tolerance for pain. My daughter and I are having sleeve the same day. Do you have five incisions? Thanks. I'm from columbus. Where are you from? Well I didn't get the drain out. That will be tomorrow. It is still going well. I think you and your daughter will be fine. I'm not sure I have a high tolerance but it has been manageable. It's not easy but it's not that bad either. I would do it again. Yes I have five incisions. They really have not hurt at all. The one with the drain tube is a little annoying is all. I do have the gas pain and the pain when I swallow but it still has not been that bad. I'm from southern Indiana. Good luck to you and your daughter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trophy wife 11 Posted September 17, 2013 HoosierMom how are you doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierMom 6 Posted September 17, 2013 HoosierMom how are you doing? Just got home! I'm doing well. A little sore but not too bad. Walked a lot in the Dallas airport which I needed to do. Found a place that had chicken noodle Soup and drank the broth. It was so good. I was starting to feel a little weak from traveling. I think you and your daughter will do fine. Remind me when it gets closer to the 11th and I'll pray for you guys. Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trophy wife 11 Posted September 18, 2013 Great! So glad your home and doing so well. Flying home went pretty good? Thanks. I will keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierMom 6 Posted September 18, 2013 Great! So glad your home and doing so well. Flying home went pretty good? Thanks. I will keep you posted. Yes flying wasn't too bad. I didn't get a wheel chair cuz I figured I needed to walk. When we flew into Dallas we landed at an opposite gate from my connecting flight. That was quite a bit of walking even with the sky walk train. I carried on my bag down there but checked it on the way home. I would suggest you guys do the same. It was nice not having to drag that around. Plus I didn't want to ask someone to put it in the overhead for me. It will be nice that you guys will have each other. When I crossed the border each time I was by myself. I met ppl at the center and hotel but somehow both times crossing the border I was alone. I would've liked having someone with me cuz that was a little unnerving. I think if they hadn't changed the rules about us getting out of the vehicle and going inside the building and getting checked then meeting the driver on the other side I wouldn't have been so nervous. I just hated being alone. But since you and your daughter will be together I really do not think you will be as nervous as I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trophy wife 11 Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks. That's good to know. My husband is going with us. That,would be a bit unnerving. Yea I worry about the connecting flight too. I don't want to get a wheel chair either. I have fibromyalgia and when I flare up bad I work hard at not walking like I'm in pain. Lol. I try to add a little arm swag to make it look like I'm just strutin my stuff. Haha. So no wheel chair for me. How haventhe gas pains been? That seems to be the worst complaint.
