chefschoon 0 Posted May 3, 2007 I just had my surgery yesterday at Manatee Memorial in Bradenton, FL at 7:15 am on May 2nd. I don't rememeber a thing, except for being moved into same day surgery. I have very little pain, some gas in the shoulders and a little bit of muscle pain, and at the port site....I feel great, and probably could have gone to work today for a few hours if I wanted too. I cant believe how well I feel. I was getting ready to say forget it at the last minute because I don't like pain or feeling "sick". I was home by 1:30 that afternoon, but probably could have been home earlier, but the nurse was waiting for a bed to put me in, she thought I was going to be admitted, but misread the chart. I also feel a little bit hungry, but nothing that a sip or two of Water can't handle....I also reccomend a couple of surger free popsicles (not orange or cherry) for your throat, makes it feel great. I still can't get over how well I feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anniemac 0 Posted May 5, 2007 I had my surgery done on Monday. I remember moving to to the table from the stretcher and then waking up. I was home by 3.30pm. A little shoulder pain was the only problem I have had. Curious as to why no orange sg popcicles - they are my favourite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katspaww 0 Posted May 6, 2007 Oh man ... did I need to see your posting tonight. I am having surgery this Weds the 9th and had my last meal tonight because I start the 3 day liquid diet tomorrow. I am having major panic attacks and seeing what you wrote has helped ease my fears. Thanks for sharing chefschoo. Kitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chefschoon 0 Posted May 6, 2007 3 day liquids? your lucky, I had 10 days. Believe me I was ready to say forget it because of the surgery, but it has really been nothing. I am going back to work tomorrow for a full day for the 1st time, I went in Friday (2 days post op) for a couple of hours to return calls and messages, but overall it has been ok. I have been using liquid tylenol once a day, but nothing else. It has been so far a good experience. THis website helped a lot though, thats why I posted.
