megster27 1 Posted March 27, 2009 I am home now too! I had surgery at 8:15 and was home by 12:00 today! I feel great!! I have no gas pain, but a little incession pain and soar throat. Other than that, I am able to swallow fine and pee like crazy! Thanks for the kind thoughts, and I am very glad we all have each other to go through this!

NanaD 0 Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Stareeide4u- Congratulations. Never thought about the fact that I'm a true bandser now. I was lucky and most of my gas stayed in the stomach area, but had lots of pain due to scar tissue from my previous surgeries. Now on day 5 my port area is the only one that really is sensitive. I ordered Unjury online, plus I found some Atkins on sale. Plus it was mocha cappachino which I love. There's so many, and it seems like most people get bored after a while and change brands. Again, Congrats and I hope everything goes great. Edited March 29, 2009 by NanaD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
