Y surgery is tomorrow morning at 11:30 am. I have to be at the hospital by 9:30. I'm scared, nervous and very excited.

Very exciting. I can't wait until i can say that. Praying your surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery. I would love to hear how everything goes. I will be thinking about you.

It will be a tough day for you but just think of all the reasons you are doing this. Think of what an improved quality of life you are going to have! To be honest with you, the first 24 hours after my surgery were pretty crummy but each day things get better and easier. I'm three weeks out today and I feel so much better than I though I would. I was even saying that at one week post-op!

You can do this. See you on the other side!

PS- Don't be afraid to ask for anxiety meds when you get to the hospital

Congrats and Best Wishes! Just remember, as soon as you can, start the walking. It will help get rid of the gas and also help keep your lungs clear. My surgery was a breeze but I did get readmitted for pneumonia that weekend because of some goofs at the hospital where they didn't let me walk.

WALK!

Surgery went well. It lasted a longer time than we had planned, due to pelvic scaring ( 3 sections and 3 spinal surgeries)

I'm feeling tired, and I'm ready to stop hurting. I'm not having much gas pain, but the incision on my left... Wow! I've had sugar free Jello, sugar free grape juice, chicken broth and Water. It's actually tasty. I should be allowed to start full liquids today and I started walking yesterday.

I'm glad things went well for you! It's encouraging for people like me who have yet to get a surgery date. I wish you continued good health!

I came home after 5 days in the hospital, I'm a week out and 12 lbs down. I'm exhausted and trying to just get back to my baseline. I had a lot of blood loss and required 2 blood transfusions.

[Seagull00 19]

And I'm back in the hospital. Infection.

Hang in there. Things will get better soon.

[Seagull00 19]

I'm back home but super exhausted and dealing with a lot of pain.

[MaureenS 24]

So glad your home. Take your pain pills and keep yourself comfortable.

It's bound to get better from here on.
