May surgeries!

[terry1118 1,274]

I'm done with surgey. I had a good night' date=' still a little sore. I was really drugged up last night-kept fadibg in n out. I finally woke up, walked around about 1000 last night, work up again at 4 this morning and walked again. I was taken off pain medicine about 1030 n went for 1 more walk. The nurses and dr. Said I was doing fine. My husband came at 1045 and I was discarged at 330. Now I'm in the car waiting for meds at Target. Then I will be home. YAH![/quote']

I'm glad you're doing so well. You girls give me hope. I'm not scared, just worried about the unexpected.

Thank you Dorian! They have Wi-Fi in the hospital so I'll post as soon as I can. I just drank my magnesium citrate, it wasn't as terrible as I thought. Now I'm waiting for the inevitable! :-)

After surgery, you will go to radiology to drink 2 different solution, so that they can make sure you have no leaks. The test takes about 10 minutes. Good luck to everyone!

Had my surgery last wed. A bit soar. Trying to eat slow drink etc. Has not been easy. But doing well. Soar and pain if I eat too fast. Can't wait till fall.

I feel as though I have done too many sit ups' date=' pain is quite bad and can't get comfortable. Still on pain meds and asking for them regularly. They said I might be able to go home tomorrow, just not sure I'm ready to go home? Did anyone else go home in pain and is this pain normal? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's normal. I had huge gas pains that required long hot showers to hot heating pads and gas x strips to bed for about 7 days. It does subside. Also had huge side pain that lasted a week. Hope you feel better soon.

3 weeks and 1 day post op down 33 lbs. anyone else having issues with burping after you eat or drink ? Dr said its normal but it's annoying now so I'm hoping it gets better.

I burp all day/night. I'm definitely a belching machine rather than a gasing machine. I'll take it! Lol

Is this pain normal? Like you I feel as though I have done to many sit ups. Keep asking for pain meds but its not going away :-( they said earlier that I might be able to go home tomorrow' date=' but not sure if I'm ready yet due to the pain. Did others go home with pain? Any help would be greatly appreciated as getting a bit scared that something is wrong. Thank Bx[/quote']

Yes, very normal. I find that walking helps a lot. I know it seems weird to move around when in so much pain but believe me, walking helps with gas pains. I walked up and down hallway while in hospital. Not sure if your doctor gave u the green light to walk but if he/she did then I highly recommend that. Yes, I also went home with pain but if it can be controlled with pain meds then I believe you'll be okay. Did you get a full incision or was it done laparoscopic? That makes a big difference. I've had 3 c-sections and a hysterectomy being cut vs the rny done laparoscopic and the recovery is night and day. Anyway, trust me, it gets much better. Take care and good luck!

How does the pain compare to c-section recovery? I've had two cesareans, so I'm kinda figuring I can handle it...
