Surgery went well! They got me in early since my surgeon is super fast. I'm just hanging out in IMCU enjoying my pain mrds and happy to have the surgery part out of the way. God bless my surgery buddies. Hope you are all doing well and gave a great recovery!

Is it that painful when you come home? I was in a lot of pain when I woke up from surgery, but this little button is carrying me through. Don't know how much to expect when I come home. Way to go on the weight loss! This is only the beginning!

I just found this app and registered. My surgery was August 19. I've finally lost all my IV Fluid post op weight gain. Getting tired of drinking my meals. No major issues so far just very tired and finding it hard to get in 3 Protein Shakes a day.

Surgery went well! In some pain, pressing my button just trying to sleep it off!

Surgery went great I've already been up walking and ventured outside I should get to go home in the morning and I'm very excited I have little to no pain at all

How did you all manage to sleep in the hospital? There are so many beeps going on I jist can't get all the way into aleep. I am using my special button, but still only managed to sleep about an hour so far. Maybe I'm just excited. Even though my pain shot to about a 7 when I stood for the first time earlier, inside I feel like going for a walk in the city on what I bet is a beautiful night. Finally the anxiety and fear of surgery are relieved and I just feel so happy my life is starting anew :-).

So happy for you. And I was the same as you in the hospital. I could not sleep, could not wait to go home to my own bed. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Pulling into Marquette, and walking into the hospital in 10 min. Very excited, I have to report at 5. Surgery at 7:30.

Good luck you two! And I've just been sleeping off and on every hour or so with the beeps. It's pretty annoying. Plus when I wake up I hit my pain button.

You'll never get any sleep in the hospital. At least that is my experience. Praying for a speedy recovery for us all. I don't have to be at the hospital until 7:30. The wait is a killer lol

Good luck to everyone having surgery today! My surgery went great. I don't let the pain sit in because I make sure they keep me drugged. I've done a lot of walking and a lot of sleeping even with all the beeps. My back is where I feel the pain. I'm glad all my buddies are doing good! Keep us posted on your updates.

Off to swallow test in a few. My heart has been a bit slow during the night so I may need to stay in IMCU another night. But if all goes well I will move to another room and start getting sips of Water soon. Hope all my surgery buddies are doing well. Blessings to everyone going today.
