Feeling pretty good.

[1Corinthians6:19 53]

Had my surgery this morning! So far I've had very little discomfort. Just some gas which goes away pretty quick with a Gas-X dissolvable strip. Sipping Water and watching Scandal. Hopefully I'll feel just as good tomorrow. I was expecting to feel kinda crappy…has anyone else had an experience similar to mine?

I felt pretty good after surgery as well. Good luck on your journey. Sounds like you have a great start!

I feel way better than I expected. This is day 3 for me and the only pain I have is in my shoulders and neck that's just hanging on. My incisions feel fine unless I bump them on something. I have an allergy to adhesive so the steri strips are itching me like crazy. Taking benadryl to help until I can get those off. Doc said leave them until they come off, but I don't think I can wait that long! Taking eating very slow, but yesterday I drank too much too fast and had horrible hiccups.

[1Corinthians6:19 53]

Omg...did the hiccups hurt? Glad you're feeling pretty good. They put this clear glue on my incisions and mine are starting to dry up. I got up to 3 shakes today so I'm really proud of that. Still have a little gas in my abdomen. Never got it in my shoulder though. I think sleeping at an incline has helped.

The hiccups were very uncomfortable. Lesson learned.....slow down!

I finally had to take the steri strips off. They were blistering my skin. My incisions look good. Just swipe them with alcohol on cotton ball couple times a day.

I had a bit of gas but a heating pad helped alleviate the gas. I drove my car the next day and attended a diet meeting in our nearby hospital. Some people were shocked that I drove and felt fine during my introduction. I had a lapband and the surgery was easier than the others.

Best wishes and Keep the faith.

I see you're a saints fan...WHO DAT!

And congratulations on your surgery! I had mine the same day at Crescent City Surgical Centre with Dr. Lavin and Dr. Thomas!
