TracyBar 132 Posted August 5, 2016 Yes I did. And I still do. At first, it was the horrible gas pains in my neck and left arm that was unbearable. I think the gas pains are gone. But now I'm so tender and sore in my belly and legs. Every time I breathe deeply, talk, stand up, sit down, I hurt. I don't know why my legs are cramping this much. Great news! How are you feeling - any pain? Did you have any right after the procedure? Details! lol Hey everyone. I'm back home from staying in the hospital after surgery. Everything went great. Is it the gas they use to expand the belly for laparscopic surgery? I'm pretty sure I got that when I had my appendix out but I don't remember any gas pain - maybe the morphine helped with that! Weird about your legs - did you ask them why? I can see the incision areas hurting though. I know you help to sit down and stand up - didn't they tell you this?

Details! lol Hey everyone. I'm back home from staying in the hospital after surgery. Everything went great. It could be some of the gas. I didn't ask them why. I made a statement about my legs hurting, but they ignored me. They didn't tell me I would need help standing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higher 966 Posted August 5, 2016 So glad to hear everything went great! I screwed up on my pre-op diet and cheated twice. Once with caviar and another time with a little sashimi. I was nervous, but addressed it with my surgeon and my surgery went fine as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my legs hurt because I'm dehydrated. (Weird since I was hooked up to an IV most of the time. It probably has nothing to do with the IV, though, lol.) I may go take a night walk since it's too hot right now. Good thing I live in a nice neighborhood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
