Surgery Day

[going2servive 36]

I had my surgery this morning around 7:30am. So far everything is great and I'm not having any issues. I also met a lady that is a member on here that had her surgery today too. Hope I've found a new long term friend

Are you in houston

I am at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital in Houston,off I-10 and Gessner. I have followed all my directions to the T. I've been up walking since 5 this evening and can feel the air(gas) moving to exits. I have not had anything by mouth yet, but my pain is minimal. I am on a morphine drip I can use if I want, but I haven't had reason to us since after my first walk at 5pm today. I have no regrets what so ever. I know I have a long road ahead and will keep you posted on how my first liquid goes tomorrow. I did need pain meds asap when I woke up in recovery, I was so soar.

Congrats on your surgery! I had mine one week ago at True Results in Houston.

I'm so happy for you both. You ease my nerves.

UPDATE: Passed my upper G.I this morning so I started Clear Liquids this morning. I've had a bit of Water, a few teaspoons of chicken broth, and about an 1oz of a sugar free popsicle. I have not had any issues yet and I am feeling better and better with time. My pain is and has been stable around a 2-3 on the pain chart. I am being very proactive and walking as much as possible, not just when I'm asked. Walking will be your best friend, it helps pass the gas faster which takes away the pressure you will feel. Don't be afraid to ask for pain meds either. Everything is just going so well guys

I had my surgery on Monday. Very little pain, mostly gas discomfort. The more you walk the better it will be for you. Focus on taking in as many liquids as you can. Good luck
