3 Days Post Op- So Painful

[cookier224 238]

I had my surgery on the 3rd, the pain was really bad. I did walk but it was hard. I had lots of pain meds too! My breathing was ok but I could not hardly get any fluids down. I was discharged yesterday. I am in a hotel because I live more than an hour away from the hospital. I had the best sleep last night no one to interrupt my sleep. I feel better today just a little week.

I hope you are feeling much better today. God bless.

so i am home and i am resting more comfortably. i keep taking pain meds because its the only thing that lets me get through the day, However im very very sleepy. i try to walk a little but its hard. slowly i hope to feel better. i am ble to get my fluids in without any problem. i also had heart to heart conversation with my husband and he explained to me that he is very scared of losing me and thats why he has been a jerk. He promised he would change and not be a jerk anymore. He thinks once i am skinny im going to run out on him. i wish i could hug each of you because i am so grateful for the love and support. i love you all. good luck to all having surgery soon!!!!

Surgery 7/25/12

Mizzlaw glad you're home and starting to feel better. I know for me the narcotic pain meds made it hard to breath. I started using it less on my 3rd day and they gave me a different pain med for home. I only took the pain med at home for a few days then started weening off of them because of the breathing.

I too ended up with an incision infection that needed to be re-opened in the surgeons office. It was painful but, got through it. My surgery was 7/11 and after two rounds of antibiotics...I'm finally feeling great and moving along

Glad you had a heart to heart with hubby too. My hubbys says when I'm thin I'll be dumping him for a younger guy but, he knows how much I love him and I keep reminding him every day. I'm so thankful for having a wonderful, supporting husband.....there is no way I'd trade him in

Oh that just thrills my heart. That you are home, getting your fluids in and that you have the support you have needed so badly. I have been thinking about you all day and hoping you were feeling better, Praying for continue healing both physically emotionally and relationship wise

This is the sweetest post ever.

I hope they gave you injectable blood thiner's, I was unable to walk for 7 days after after I woke up from my RNY and my surgeon prescribed them to protect against clotting also those things that squeeze your calf muscles. All that and I still had complications, I lost 2 units of blood in my sleep. As a resold I was on the liquid phase for over 120days..

I wish you the best and a speedy recovery.
