Losing it!

[katt1584 46]

Hi I'm ok except in a lot of pain and they will only give me Lortab which Tylenol #3. I'm really pissed off. They are calling the dr to see if he will give me something else. I just had my stomach cut out, I didn't have tooth taken out! My back is killing me too.[/quote

That's all they would give you post surgery?! No pain pump?! You poor thing! I was on a diluadid drip for 2 days and needed every minute of it. Hang in there!

I know! I thought I would have morphine! I really was regretting going to that hospital for a while but they found something for me.

First little NSV! I have these underwear that are a little too small, the front tends to roll down under my tummy. Just put them on and they are staying in place. I need a scale!

Thank you! OMG the IV alarm is going off again. Wtf?

Funny - one of the buddies I made on this forum taught me how to silence the IV alarm as a tool to get ready for surgery. I sure hope I can figure it out. There's some button you press down and hold until the sound goes off. Pay attention to what the nurses do next time!

Thanks! My neck hurts so bad! I think from laying down so much. I'm trying to stretch and use ice.

Guys I need help. I am in the worst mood, my incision sites hurt, every time I drink an ounce I burp and feel like my stomach is growling like crazy.

When I take oxy it knocks me out and I can't be in bed all day or I won't get in enough Fluid and Protein.

Right now I feel like ripping someone's head off.

Is this normal? Surgery was Tuesday.

When does the burping and growling stop???

[cherbear33 288]

I still get the burping & growling at times & I'm a lil over 8 mths po. The emotional part of it is normal. Mine hit about a week po & I felt like I was losing my mind but it all will pass, just try to stay positive & keep your eye on the prize which is healthier, happier you from your new life journey!

Thank you. I really am sick of the pain, it's enough already.

I just would like to take one little drink without burping.

[cherbear33 288]

Don't worry before you know it the pain will just be gone... each day you will start feeling better until one day hou just suddenly realize you don't hurt anymore. The burping will lessen as well very soon. You gotta give yourself & your new tummy a chance to heal! Stay strong & stay positive!!! Make sure you walk a lot it will help with the gas a lot & also try chewable gas-x... it was my best friend when I first came home from the hospital!

Thank god it seems like suddenly I can take small sips and it just goes down without the burping and growling! I fell asleep for four hours and woke up feeling a lot better.

I'm going to try gas X tomorrow!

I just get frustrated reading about people who had no issues like they just went in to get their teeth cleaned.
