I've never had surgery or pain meds so the details help calm my nerves. Worm yes, the surgery really isn't that bad, other than the gas! The first 24 hrs are the worse but really during this time you are so morphined up and groggy from anesthesia it's not that bad , once they unhook you from your IV and started on phase 1 diet, it gets easier. Try to walk and move around , ....helps move the gas out.... The worse pain is gas,,,, now we know why all those newborn babies make a bigggg fuss when they have gas lol Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk 1 worm2872 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
