CrissyBat 60 Posted April 1, 2015 Hello All, this will be brief. I'm scheduled for surgery 1 April as well. I'm not too nervous but I've had a bad headache for the past 2 days. I guess tension. The worst part is I can't take any meds for it. So right now I'm just ready for surgery and meds to help this pain go away. I hope to chat with you all after surgery. Best of luck to you all.

CrissyBat 60 Posted April 2, 2015 Had mine done today and my only complaint was the gas trapped in my chest. It HURT so bad, but finally it went away. Now my abs just feel like they ate sore from sit-ups. I hope it that's the most of my discomfort. I'm wishing everyone the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy you didn't have any gas. Mine has returned and I had to ask for my Gasx. Ooh well, at least it will go away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrissyBat 60 Posted April 2, 2015 So far my hospital staff has been the greatest. they gave me broth and Jello yesterday but I had no desire to eat. I finally ate some of my Jello this morning after my walk. I don't know if other facilities make you walk, but mine does. Nothing fast or long. Just whatever you can handle.

pictureitall 9 Posted April 2, 2015 Sounds like everyone did pretty well overall through surgery. Great news! I had some major nausea issues. Poor nurses were trying everything. Thank goodness it finally subsided. Just got home today and trying to keep the fluids going...sip..sip..sip Keep up the good work everyone. Our path to a whole new future awaits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x0CheekzVSG 77 Posted April 2, 2015 Glad to hear everything went well....im so nervous, any tips? What to expect in hospital? LolLemme see... I was fine until the were about to roll me away and then I burst in to tears out of nowhere! They gave me some Valium in my IV and then I was fine! Went to the OR went to sleep and woke up done! The only annoying this is the gas pain. But if you get the gas x strips and walk you will be a okay! I did not get anything last night because I had to do the "leak" test this morning! I did just have a sip of broth and a lemon Italian icee and I am so full! Good luck to you dear you will do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
