Checking In! How did the surgery go and how are you feeling post op?

Hi all..

Six days out and I am feeling pretty good (minus the nagging headache due to sleep apnea and not wearing my c PAP).

Surgery was uneventful...my first night in the hospital I had a bit of remorse but got over it soon. I have been running an on again off again low grade fever. My doc says it's normal and to call if it gets to 101. (Not on any antibiotics).

I woke this morning feeling really good and I think I did too much and wore myself out. So now I am back, resting. I find I get tired easily and nap quite a bit. The 5 holes on my belly look gnarly but I think are starting to heal as they are beginning to itch. Only one site actually hurts.

I find every day I feel better and better.

My advice - Follow your doctor's to a T, and SIP SIP SIP.... that has been hard, but I have PLENTY of varieties of sf liquids and Jello on hand. Oh and TRY and get in all of your Protein. I find it is almost impossible to do this - and am constantly sipping on this as well.

BEST of luck to all who are going thru this.... it is a long road but one I am grateful to be on...
