Had sleeve revision to Bypass surgery yesterday afternoon and it was successful! In a lot of pain But the morphine really helps but OMG do not LAUGH!!! Something funny happened and i laughed suddenly and regretted the joke immediately lol
Outside of that gas pains sucks walking makes it feel better
Overall I’m happy... in a lot of pain but happy for another journey, and this time i will hit my goal weight!!!

Reminds me of my first caesarean, there was a lady in our ward that was a natural comic. She had everyone in fits of laughter which may be good for those who have had vaginal births but it’s not when you’ve had a Caesarean

I think I may be in the wrong location
I want to live in an Universe where mosquitos suck fat instead of blood, don't you?

Also try not to cough.

Coughing is the pits but I thought I would rip apart when I sneezed right after surgery. You shouldn't have abdominal surgery and have hay fever at the same time! LOL

Yes coughing is equally horrible

Coughing (and laughing, honestly) is really important to prevent post-op pneumonia. It might hurt, but you've got to power through it (and take your pain meds to keep in under control). Don't get pneumonia!

That is one of the reasons you have that plastic incentive spirometer to use, keeps you from developing pneumonia, helps get rid of your left- over gas.
