[wadetb7 37]

Sorry last post sent before I could spell check and fix. I was sick for at least 24 hours.

Interesting about out tummies being most swollen in the mornings.

My surgery was on tue June 10 at 8am. Dr was late but not too much. I was nauseous in recovery and vomited a few times and then in my room. The measure comtines so they double doeses me with zopram and comprazine. It got better but still continued the next morning. Luckily they doeses me before I had to do the X-ray with nasty contrast. Luckily I made it threw that and haven't vomited since wed am. I had moments but spitting helped. <br><br> Gas pain sucked but I was lucky it stayed in my belly. I hear the shoulder pains sucks. I was moving on the first night. I went home early after noon on Thursday. Just in time to make my 10 year old music performance. Yesterday afternoon was my last pain meds. I might do some today. Today I went to unrelated dr appointment and costco whooped with hubby. I was slow and took breaks by sitting down. I am staying on Clear Liquids by choice until Saturday. No problem getting a full cup of broth and a Popsicle in. Also Water is fine. Nurse reccomend hot lemon water in am since that is when our stomachs are most swollen, saliva from sleeping.< /p>

sounds like you are doing ok. I do have to say I was so relieved to get the drain out on the 9th. As soon as it came out, my shoulder pain was gone. But, that was really the most pain I had was shoulder pain. It was really bad whenever I tried to lay down. I just couldn't get comfortable. Monday I start my puréed diet. Will definitely post in here on Monday after my appointment with Dr. Bruce.

I have 3 days left before surgery! I've been cleaning, yard work, and packing for Mexico. I started clear liquids today. I'm getting so nervous! I hope I've packed everything I will need! I'm dreading the post-op negatives but looking forward to losing weight so my poor back and knees will not be under so much stress.

So why Mexico? I see that a lot and am just curious.

Several reasons mainly financial.

Thank you! So far so good!

Hi guys,

Had my surgery. Everything went great. I had a huge highatel hernia that he fixed.

The nurses that took care of me were great. Doctor Eric Harris did a great job.

I am pushing the fluids, though I have a lot off gas.

I will give update when I am less drugged.

Happy Birthday tagyoorit!

thanks a bunch ... Ne

How are you doing? Are you back at the hotel? I'm staying at the Marriott after all. Surgery is in the morning! Getting nervous! I was just wondering how you were doing?

Thanks so much! I'm back in the hotel 3 days post op ... Got my suction tube removed today and feel really quite good. Pain at this point is minimal and have had only 2 occasions where I felt nauseous ... The key is to stop whatever is making you feel yucky right away, breathe deep and spit in a cup until it passes.... I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HUNGER! My wife is reminding me that I should get some calories in ... Totally weird for me, to be sure! Not having any problems with keeping Protein down ... so far so good!Note: They changed the hospital on me at the last minute due to a problem with San Javier's surgical suites which gave me pause ... Not at all up to American standards in my opinion, but in the end I went through with it and am right as rain. Good luck tomorrow, I'm pulling for you!

Sorry my phone is sending before I'm ready...

Shopping in PV is awesome! Everything is in Spanish which can be challenging when reading labels!

Bring comfortable sandals for walking ... You will be doing lots of it.

The people here are absolutely lovely no worries at all ... Try and have fun when you feel a bit better

Good luck!

I just had my approval from insurance verified and and scheduled for June 26th! I'm equal parts nervous/excited/scared. I have lost 14 lbs during my 90 day (insurance required) doctor monitored diet. I live near Dallas and will be having surgery with Dr. Kennedy. Is anyone near me and prepping for a June date? I could use a buddy to go through this with.

I'm in Dallas, scheduled for surgery 6/19 with Dr. Kennedy! Let's do this!!!
