Shari71 85 Posted December 12, 2014 Surgery went great. I checked in at 9:15. But my surgeon was running behind on his 1st surgery. Surgery was @2:15pm. Took me 4hrs to wake completely up. My family and friends were waiting for me ☺️ I was extremely loopy feeling. Everyone said I just kept mumbling. The nurse asked me if I wanted to walk. So I walked 10x's around the nurses station. I did have a lot pain after surgery. And nurses were on point with meds. NO GAS PX AT ALL! My BP was a bit high, pain/aching in my abdomen. Otherwise I'm ok. Still sleepy though. I was d/c the following day 2pm. The surgeon was laughing because I was sitting with my legs crossed Indian style lol He kept saying you look so refreshed. And no problem sipping Water either. I feel so blessed of my sleeved outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheleLynn45 615 Posted December 12, 2014 So glad to hear things went well for you!! I had a similar time of it. I am almost 7 weeks post op and nothing about my recovery went the way I thought it would. And for that I am extremely grateful. I used to no pain meds except for in the hospital. Was able to sleep on my side first night in hospital. Yeah!! I wish you continued success in your journey!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted December 12, 2014 I think most patients' surgeries do go better than they expected. Mine did, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerseyCityGal 231 Posted December 12, 2014 That's great. I didn't get gas either. I bought like 3 boxes of Gas-X and didn't need them at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shari71 85 Posted December 12, 2014 Yea so many people that shared their stories. Seemed to have big issues/gas/nausea etc. There's still pain in my tummy. Yesterday I had to take the liquid hydrocodon. And this morning I took a oxycodon. I'm just listening to my body. If achy then I just lay down. And last night I felt better. I went on a short walk.

hamitchell 15 Posted December 16, 2014 I agree, some discomfort and light nausea which passes fairly quickly. Surgery seems pretty big deal, but not feel that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shari71 85 Posted December 18, 2014 @@klock Good luck on your surgery! Such a fun/excited/nervous time. I really became at peace with the surgery about 4 days before. And I had to stop reading some of these... Idk if they were a bit dramatic posts about surgery. But they just weren't healthy for me to read. I'm glad I could make you feel a bit at ease ????

Shari71 85 Posted December 18, 2014 @hmitchell Agree! Make it positive. You can only hope/pray it will. And don't get me wrong. The 1st 48hrs is an experience. But mine was much more bearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
