@@ShondaDaDiva Hi future sleever. You are going to be way more nervous and anxious before the same day before surgery. I almost quit, mins before if it wasn't for my surgeon. He was the only who could calm me down and I felt I was in the best hands. I don't know if you are christian or not but something that help me days before was hearing a women call Kathleen on Sid Roth's It's supernatural (I'm a cold christian.)

Otherwise make sure you have a good support. Yesterday was my surgery and my surgeon was the one who calm me down, like he was my husband Lol not even my husband could calm me down.

I'm a mother and pain for me was like having contractions....For the first 6-8 hrs I decidad not to have another kid Lol I will forget the pain soon when I start seeing babies everywhere.

This is for your health and your happines. This is for a new you. Good luck.

****If you have a pre-op diet, I recommend you to start sipping liquids every 20-30 secs you will need to practice before. That is helping me now. I prepare myself to rhe post-op diet and get ready for the burps Lol

Thanks for asking. I'm still in the hospital. It's hard to describe the pain, tender & sore. I've been walking a lot. They took me off the morphine pump yesterday. Now they just give me pain meds PRN. I am hoping to go home today. I miss my sons. Nervous about my 19 month old wanting to climb all over me.

I had a little nausea but never vomited. The gas pain went away after they let me walk. I carry my Water with me when I walk now because my mouth is so dry. I also get the hiccups while walking and burp while "eating".
