Rachie 9 Posted February 24, 2021 I’m now gone after getting my surgery done Monday, feeling good. Was a bit full of gas 1st night but didn’t merit any pain relief. Here’s to a New Beginning x 2 SummerTimeGirl and chiquitatummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaye W 219 Posted February 25, 2021 My surgery was 7:30 am today. Feeling great, walking laps on unit, meeting fluid goals, minimal discomfort. Hoping it stays this way. 2 BigDreamer2021 and chiquitatummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only problem I have right now is dry mouth and Water retention but neither of those are a major problem. I also had my lap band removed . No pain or hunger yet!

chiquitatummy 339 Posted February 25, 2021 way to go! similar experience for me, none of my big fear happened (not being able to get Fluid in, vomiting, uncontrolled nausea or pain) and I felt surprisingly good for most of my first day post-op. I start full liquid tomorrow, crossing fingers that goes well too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kukubari 16 Posted February 25, 2021 Oh nice, another 2/23rd’er. Mine was at 7:30am. I’m glad you feel great already, that’s awesome. I’m feeling pretty good too with no hunger pains. However I have twinges of pain from the gas. Oh god does the gas make for an unpleasant time lol. 1 chiquitatummy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachie 9 Posted February 25, 2021 Hi yeah I’m feel good. I had some issues once I started eating the day after surgery with the food and gases was giving me some jip got quite emotional, surgeon booked me in for a X-ray just to double check everything before she discharged me used and yeah all was good. I think it was a mix of no sleep added to my emotions. But now this morning I’ve been able to dip n lick my teaspoon with no issues. So much more relaxed and feeling very positive.

It’s nice to hear that not everyone has a bad or unpleasant journey definitely helped with my anxiety. I have anxiety as well. I took my clonazapam the night before and they gave me one the night I was in the hospital. That first day you have surgery you will probably sleep a lot. You are going to do great...Don't sweat it!

That helped a lot, the staple line on my belly has remarkably not created any pain as I expected. I was super sleepy yesterday and only going to take an occasional pain pill today. I took 2 every 4 hours yesterday until bedtime and just took one. I have had no problem with fluids. I was afraid I might be drinking to much but the nurse that called this morning said the more Water the better,Stay in touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
