Things went great at the hospital, I was in surgery for about 45 minutes then in recover for about 1/2 or so and on to my room by 11:20 walking and going to the bathroom. I opted to stay the night since I lived a couple hours away & I paid for it, let them wait on me & I was hooked to pain med's if I started to have pain. Happly things went very well and I was home 24 hours after surgery.

I have an uncomfortable feeling, the gas probably and my stomach looks very big & blotted. I am not hungry at all, but I have had Water, broth, Jello & a bit of Decaf coffee. I am sleeping alot & going to the bathroom alot, but all & all I feel pretty good, not a lot of gas pain & my stomach is going down & I have a bit of gas. So all of you that are worried or nervous really not a lot pain, just discomfort, this is my first surgery ever too.

Things could change I will keep you posted.

:clap2: I did it.

Congratulations on the surgery! Makes me feel better about the decision hearing things went so well. I'm really concerned about the gas pain issue.

Hearing that you are doing well, encourages me for my operation on Fri, 14 Sept 07. Wish me luck. Any suggestions?
