I can't believe it's here. The king wait is over and I am feeling very nervous. I know it's the right decision but it feels weird knowing what's about to happen. If you have a prayer to spare please send it my way. I report to the hospital at 530 am, just 2 hours away. Yikes!

Well I survived! I am postop 3 and starting to feel somewhat like myself again. I'm not going to lie the first 48 hours were very hard. I was so nauseous all the time. I couldn't get all of my Water down. I also had a hard time staying awake after the anesthesia. My husband was getting very worried. He was good about making me walk. Today I have had very little nauseas and i am so relieved. I did experience the normal panicked feelings of what have I done. I am getting more fluids in but not enough protien. We traveled for my surgery so we will be leaving to hotel for the drive home. I worried about the drive with a lot of construction and bumps. My husband has been wonderful and very attentive but I feel bad that he going through the surgery too from the other side. It has been very stressful and tiring. I don't know how I can make it up to him.

Hi Crystal, I'm glad you survived. I too survived. I have to agree that the first 48 hours are very tiring. I was nauseous all the time and had an allergic reaction to morphine. I'm great now, just experiencing the bloating, gas, and trying to eat. Hopefully I can go home today. I also had my gallbladder removed which is the source of my pain. Oh and the gas. My husband had been right by side as well, being very helpful and attentive. I couldn't have made it through this without him.

We are driving home and I survived my husband eating in front of me. The smell didn't bother me at all.
