First day for me was horrible... Second day a little more manageable should go home today nervous about that but ready sore sore and the gas unreal. Gas stripes as soon as I get home.

Sweetness- I hope you're feeling better! They were able to give me gas x here in the hospital... It helped a bit, as did the walking and the heating pad. Good luck to you!

Had mine yesterday and was in a lot of pain yesterday and had a lot of nausea but as soon as they got me on the nausea medicine my body balanced out and I did much better after about 2 hours.

I have gone for a walk to the bathroom and that's it I'm still hAving a little bit of pain but overall doing well

Glad you're also doing better now... What are they giving you for pain? I've had liquid Percocet and it helped but not sure what they'll be sending me home with today...

Surgery went great and I'm a little sore but feeling pretty good- went for a walk with my husband... Feeling very grateful for no complications this time, no need for an open procedure. What's weird is that my roommate just had surgery with the doctor that screwed up my surgery in 2007! Definitely will not mention that... Hoping surgery went well for all of you today!

Update... Of course that particular surgeon came in to see his patient yesterday & saw me first. He asked me, "do I know you?" When I told him my name he nearly turned grey and said that he thinks of me from time to time. He then goes to the other side of the curtain to see his other patient and the nurse comes in to examine my incisions and notes the large scar that I have... (That was caused by the guy behind the curtain.) Now I have a new room mate who just had surgery with the same doctor, SO I guess I get to see him one more time before leaving today.... Awkward!

I'm home... Hope everyone is feeling better today!

Yeah congrats! I'm waiting to see my surgeon then get discharged to finally go home and lay down in my own bed.

Hello my fellow travellers in this journey

Im home after surgery on tuesday.soooo glad the anaesthetic is wwaring off.was by far the hardest part of this process.

The first 24 hrs after surgery wwre frightening as I felt waves of nausea and like therewas a lead weight on my chest.

The exercise s they gave me helped me expand my lungS

I feel very grateful to dr barber and the wondeeful nurses at mercy ascot.

I am sp pleased to be home with my loved ones and animals

A quuck question...haa anyone developed a wee crush and gratefulness and overall hero worship of there surgeon.?

I wonder if its common

Hello again! Talk about a roller coaster of emotions!! My date is the 21st I was authorized by insurance back at the beginning of September after a big mess because of an audit my husbands insurance chose to do and basically I had to have proof that I was married to my husband after 13 years! Ok?!?! So anyways they didn't get what they wanted for proof so they cancelled my insurance but didn't notify me until after it was cancelled long story short we finally got them what they wanted and so they said their would be no lapse in coverage no issues blah blah blah. I get a call at work today from weights clinic and my lady there that deals with my insurance she says well I called your insurance this morning and you are now cancelled for surgery and are in the process of re- authorization !!!! I'm a mess ! Bawled half the day sick to my stomach I was so prepared for this and now this? Well after hours on the phone with my Hubby and I we have been reassured that it will be approved by tomorrow morning! Please pray that this goes through for me please! Sorry so long!

Had my surgery on Wednesday and came home on Thursday. It was very difficult at first. Little to no pain but a lot of nausea and vomiting as well. For 2 days I couldn't keep anything down. A friend of mine had her surgery the same day as me and had the same issues. I am finally feeling better but having a lot of trouble getting all my fluids down. I kept hearing how hard it is to get even a couple of ounces down but now I understand. Now that I am able to keep everything down without vomiting, I will work on more fluids tomorrow. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I'm the triplet for the 21st! I'm on a 10 day Liquid Protein diet...not even hungry anymore. .. going to pick up my meds at pharmacy today. Looking forward to an iv so I can get hydrated which no amount of drinking Water seems to help. I am trying to convince myself that I will absolutely not be nauseous after surgery! Good luck to all!

I have a question for the 15th babies, did you have hunger pains after a few days if being out? I'm finding I'm hungry and idk if it's bc I'm not drinking enough or if that's normal?

[jking72 7]

Is anyone else feeling hunger pains?

Yes I definitely want to eat after not eating anything for so long!!! I think it's pretty normal... Partly in my head though. My husband just took my oldest son out to a movie and to this really great Japanese buffet... My son came home and started to describe everything... Had to make him stop for the love of all things holy!

My kids are popcorn last night and I just died!!!! I miss munching, I can live without all the carb foods but pickles, I love pickles, apples, cheese. I'm so glad this phase only lasts 2 weeks for me
