So it's 4:16am, and my surgery is today at 8:30am.

I've been up all night anxiously preparing for everything.

I have to be at the hospital in about 45 minutes, so wish me luck.

See ya'll soon!

HEFT Bandit!

Hi Heft!

It's been just over an hour since your surgery time, so I'm hoping that you are visiting la-la land in recovery. I'm thinking about you and sending well-wishes your way! :biggrin:

Hi everyone. Wanted to say thanks for all your nice posts. Surgery was great. No issues what so ever. I'm still in the hospital, but should be leaving around noonish.

I have 4 small cuts on my belly. My left side hurts like a b**** but they have been generous with the morphen.

Ok gonna lay down now.

Well I wish I could say that I posted the same day as my surgery, but I didn't. It was about 24 hours after the surgery. Not saying I was in a lot of pain for those hours, but not up to doing anything but sleeping and walking.

Not sure how the staying up all night part worked out. About 2am I started to think twice as I couldn't have anything to drink. I was happy that I was totally knocked out while waiting for the Dr. in Pre-op as I'm a very impatient person, and would have been upset if he wasn't there on time, which we know Dr.'s usually aren't.

But after the surgery I was soo sleepy. The entire night, I didn't stay awake for more then 30 minutes when I was in my room. The nurse would come in to walk me, I'd walk for like 15 minutes or so, and then get back in the bed or chair. The tv was on, but I could even pay attention to it long enought to figure out what was going on.

Well I'm home now. Acutally left the hospital at about 2pm. Stopped off and got the drugs. Had a little layover at a friends house as I forgot my keys and had to wait for my brother to get home. I get home at 5:30ish and fix my first meal as I'm now acutally hungry for the first time since my surgery. Well at least I think that's hungr. So it takes me about 2 hours to finish my 4 oz of beef broth which tasted totally horrible. I also took about 4 sips from an 8oz Water.

Then I walked on the treadmill for about 10 minutes at a pace of .6 for a whopping 0.1 miles. Now I'm hurting, but must do my breathing exercises and then the drugs for the pain.

HEFT!

Ok, that was quite an adventure. I did enjoy the treadmill part the most. …and the broth, but that goes without say.<o:p></o:p>
