Surgery on the 22nd!



Recommended Posts

That's TOMORROW! Yipes. I'm beyond nervous. Excited, too, but anxious as heck.

Anyone else approaching their surgery date and feeling really nervous?

Heeey! I got home yesterday. I too was done on the 22nd. My doctors aren't calling it complicated recovery but I feel like mine has been. I developed a fever in PACU. I was in unbearable the entire time. I'm just starting to be able to get up and move around. I ws throwing up everything and then some up until last night. How have you been feeling?

@@Josefina1210 Aw, I'm sorry it was rough! I hope you're doing better now. How are you feeling?

I've actually been doing really well. My recovery has been super smooth with the exception of a really bad panic attack the first night when the anesthesia wore off. I did have some gas and heartburn problems but I'm home now. The most difficult thing for me has been getting used to constantly sipping fluids!

Thanks, and I'm glad you're doing well. I hope things continue to sail smoothly. Just remember to carry your bottle of Water or whatever you're drinking, everywhere you go. I think I read somewhere that the very first sign of dehydration is thirst, so you know how easy it is for that to happen. Best of luck! Don't be a stranger

Im doing ok. I don't think I'm going to be ready to move to the pureed food stage on thurs. I'm still having some trouble with really thick liquids like my rtd Protein Shake and cream of chicken Soup. Other than that I'm doing awesome.
