Hopefulin2021 244 Posted March 4, 2021 Hi all had my surgery yesterday and I must say I am feeling pretty good. The gas pain is not as bad as I thought and other pain in pretty tolerable. I am so happy it is done and over with now I’m on the road to recovery. I am having a problem with peeing, they took the catheter out and want me to do it on my own but I can’t yet. Hopefully I will before I get discharged tomorrow. I’ve been sipping on Water and Jello so I hope that will help. 6 3 GreenTealael, Arabesque, chiquitatummy and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not having any pain but I have a fever of 101 and can’t keep anything down throwing up green liquid. I was hoping to go home today but guess not. 1 2 SunnyinSC, GreenTealael and Creekimp13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GaGirlGettingHealthy 98 Posted March 4, 2021 Congratulations to you both. It’s so true our journeys are all different. TMI but I had to have a catheter just to wake up my bladder. Once I had it and my bladder was empty, I was able to go on my own. Our bodies are just weird sometimes. Happy healing wishes to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drank a ton of Water, I was dehydrated, and was finally able to pee...I wanted to go home!
