Well it happened TODAY!!

[acuttita 49]

So today was my surgery. I was at the hospital at 7am and I was done with surgery and recovery and in my private room by 11:30. It was so smooth and all the staff has been so polite and nice, coming to this hospital was the best choice for me and doing this surgery was the best decision. My stomach does not hurt so much but my back is killing me from all the gas. I knew it would hurt but i didn’t know this much. Some friends came to visit which was very nice to know i had support and I’m so happy to start this new journey of life.

Congrats! Some people have said that walking really helps with the gas--I didn't notice any pain from that, so can't say. But use whatever pain meds you are given in the hospital. You won't need them for long.

Best of luck!

so Acuttita, how are you feeling on Surgery Day +1? When do you get sprung from the hospital? Even if it is a nice place, I'm sure you want to go home😝

Well last night I didn’t sleep much and I still have a little pressure from my incision sites but I saw my surgeon this morning and he gave me the green light to go home, I’m just waiting on my discharge papers. I do have a little headache but I’m eager to get home and rest in my own bed, hopefully then I will get some sleep. Overall I’m happy with my decision surgery wise, hospital wise and surgeon wise.
