VSGDavid 185 Posted December 5, 2018 So man. What a day! Surgery went text book according to surgeon. I was on the table for 55min. He told me it was obvious that I had rocked the preop diet, as he could have likely done the surgery without a liver retractor. I was in recover for about 2 hours because I kept going apneic on the pain meds, so they had to keep the doses low, which sucked. Once I got back to the room, and got on my personal CPAP machine things progressed much better. I’m on icechips only until tomorrow morning. Let me tell yah. The dry mouth is no joke! I did 10 laps around the floor I’m on 1 hour after arriving to my room. Since then I’ve done between 8-15 laps every hour I was awake. (I slept for a few hours) All the people that told you walking is the only thing that helps gas pain? Listen to them! I’ve attached a pic of my ugly mug after walking the floor for 15 laps. Best wishes to everyone! I’ll update when They advance my diet. 3 4 1 LZN2512, ColeSimone, MelissaWFINALLY and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
