I made a mistake.



Recommended Posts

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. :D

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?

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.

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.

@@Hiraeth Get some fluids with electrolytes. Move as much as you can - even if you just rock back and forth. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

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. :)
