Finally Post op! Still in Hospital and ready to go home

[TxSilverAngel 8]

Had my surgery16 hours ago and I feel pretty good! The gas pain from the co2 they pump into you is pretty bad but surgical pain is not that bad. I'm sure it will feel a little worse in a couple days. I have walked quite a bit to get the gas to dissipate and the pain meds help. Still nothing to drink!! But my surgeon doesn't allow Water to even touch my lips till later today. With that being said let me get to the things I'm glad I brought and what I wish I brought. So glad I brought my Chapstick, my iPad, and pajama pants. What I wish I brought was my own pillow.

Congrats!!

Ask for another pillow. I was able to rest comfortably with a pillow on my side.

For me the waiting to drink was the worst! I couldn't drink until my endo the day after surgery. My mouth was so dry and my throat was so sore. Once I could drink I felt so much better.

Welcome to the losers bench!

Yes! At 7 months out I am very pleased with my progress! It's been slow at times but overall I can't complain.

Thanks!!
