Made it to the losers bench@

[Apple203 1,314]

Hi all, I finally made it to the losers bench! Surgery went well, despite some problems with the hiatal hernia repair. Haven't talked to surgeon directly about that yet. Pain is low. Woke up with shoulder pain from gas, that was expected thanks to everyone accounts. First walk is within the hour. I have been surprised a few times when I wake up and I am sleeved, lo l, so happy it's done!!

Ahhh, finally sipping some Water, and it is sooooo nice! Looks like its true; Dr. G keeps his patients 2 nights. Including me. I am looking forward to getting out off the hospital gown and into some comfy pants and a T-shirt. The sip sip sip walk walk walk :-). I did take advantage of the morphine overnight, and I feel pretty gassy this morning.

I’m curious, does morphine make you extra gassy? I’m day 3 post-op and am so bloated and gassy despite walking 2-3 miles/day, burping constantly and following all instructions. I did take full advantage of morphine in the hospital and wondering if that had something to do with the way I’m feeling? It’s been a rough journey since I left the hospital.

I don't think it is the morphine. You're just expelling the gasses used during surgery. It hasn't been an easy journey for me either. One of my incisions was really hurting up until today. Now it's dulled somewhat. Let's just keep moving forward.
