Tryingtogetmylifeback 5 Posted October 7, 2015 Got my surgery on the 6th at which time I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and my gallbladder removed. I was so scared. The worst part was shaking the aneshesia. Everything else has been ok. Most of my pain is from Gas and the hernia repair. Im still in the hospital I hope to be ready to go home on Friday. I think I will be ok to roll by then. Everybody swore by the gas strips I aint farted since I been here. They Worked no miracles for me thus far. I would definitely recommend getting the mouth spray to keep your mouth moist. Im still on fluids and stay dry. I regretted it the first day(surgery). Prayers and a strong support system have me up and doing good now. Seems like once they knew it was happening they all jumped on board. P. S. the pain meds are better in the hospital so stay and be comfortable as long as you can. You will be on your own soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssaner 3 Posted October 8, 2015 Hey there - I am in the same boat and I am scheduled for Nov 10th also. I only got four hours of sleep last night because I was so excited/nervous or whatever. I just want to do this and get on with my life and I am on hold right now. I guess we will count down the days together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
