Tomorrow Is My Surgery!

[fluffylady 27]

I'm so nervous. I know it's the right decision. I'm just afraid of pain and complications. Any pointers, advice ect. Do I need anything at the hosp?

Good luck to all those whose surgery is this week. I will see y'all on the other side.

Walk as soon as u can.... and keep walking the more u walk the sooner the gas will go away. And the sooner u will start passing gas which is good.

I was in a lot of pain walking was very hard for me so I timed my walks with my pain meds. Try not to cry it only makes the pain worse. I knew if I lost my composure I'd never get it back. I'm 7 days post op and still in pain but its much better a nd I haven't taken my pain meds today

Good luck. Walk ASAP and as much as you can!! I did a ton of laps in the hospital. And every night since the night after I got home I have walked in the park for 30-45 minutes. I have to go sometimes at random times to walk. It's the only thing that helps with gas or stomach pains.

Good luck! Prayers sent your way!!! Like everyone has said, walk as soon as you can. I got up the first night and it wasn't as bad as everyone had told me it would be. My only advice is to be careful and no heavy lifting. I did great the first time after surgery. But two weeks out and I had complications because of a tear. My fault, but still very painful. I was hospilitized for a week. And that time I was down. So just be careful!!

Thank you so much. Ok here I go.

Katie - can you talk more about your tear? Was it internal? An incision?
