slvarltx 332 Posted May 15, 2015 Well, one week ago I was just about to undergo my initial anesthesia. What a crazy week! Today I am in almost no pain and my incisions have almost all healed. For anyone worried about the surgery, there is some pain, there is an inconvenience factor, but overall no big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slvarltx 332 Posted May 18, 2015 Glad the information was helpful. If you have any other questions/concerns, please feel free to check in with me. Today is day 10 and the pain in the incision site is almost completely gone. Was able to get on and off the floor to play with the dog last night...that was fun! The head hunger is pretty intense sometimes, I would kill for a cheeseburger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a good way to word it, head hunger, I'm dealing with that now, day 2 of Clear Liquids, surgery is tomorrow at 4 so that means nothing to drink or eat all day, but I'm looking forward to 2 weeks from now! Glad you're doing well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engteacher 158 Posted May 20, 2015 My surgery is June 9th, and it's a relief to hear that you've had smooth sailing so far. I swing between uber excitement and sheer panic. This calms me more than you can know. Keep us in the loop as you progress... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.E.Flores 20 Posted May 22, 2015 Best of luck! Can't wait to hear all about your surgery, and post op experience. Keep us in the loop. Lol today was slightly better than yesterday, doc decided to keep me one more night as it was very difficult to get liquids in, and didn't want me dehydrating, which I'm fine with, I'm about an hour away from my hospital if there's no traffic so it rather be here if something were to happen I got some pain meds about 45 mins ago and they are kicking yay! Should be going home tomorrow mid day God willing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lily3 54 Posted May 23, 2015 I had my surgery on May 20th and I was nervous but the truth is that the Main discomfort has been the gas pain. Incision is healing nicely. Since I been home only used the pain med twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
