Surgery done- loser bench ready?

Good Evening all

had my surgery yesterday at 1:00 instead of 2:00 yep, they moved quicker than expected on their previous surgeries. Got out of surgery at 3:20 and took to the pacu. Had very little pain but could barely keep my eyes open. I was a lot more awake around 6:00-7:00pm.

With regards to the operation. Everything went super well
I was calm to the last minutes, a was put to sleep with 2 minutes entering the operating room. Also at Civic you do not lay on a cold metal bed, it's like a big spongy human form that you lay on, super comfy and cushioning.

The pain after the operation never got over 4 on a scale of 10
None of the cuts hurt, some are tender but that's it. I only have a sensation of a cramp across my liver. That is it? The doctor jokingly said, it's due partly from gaz and the fact that I cut your stomach inserted staples and move your liver... lol but seriously I am not in a lot of pain, I would call it more uncomfortable than pain. Been sipping and walking Yesterday about 15-30 minutes:) very slowly but did the hospital ward about 7-8 times. Got some burping but so far no poo or farting. Will get on the milk of magnesia tomorrow:)

also a very nice news for me, the dressing on my cuts is waterproof so, doctor said I can shower tomorrow they should be updating the after care book at the Civic to reflect that.
Going home today around noon, liquid is coming down very well and I take my walks and move my feet.

pleae don't hesitate to ask questions.

Alex coming to the loser bench

Welcome to the bench lots of room !

I'm happy that all went well.  I had my in Ottawa 6 weeks ago, I was amazed also that it took also about 2 minutes to put me out.  I'm doing great as well!

Congratulations on being on the losers bench. You have an awesome personality. sounds like your on your way. Keep us posted.

Thanks sweetie 

i am so determined, it took me a long time to decide but I am in for the win. How are you doing?

I'm on my last 5 days of optifast surgery Tuesday ... I'm scared n very excited

Great to hear Alex!  Thank you for sharing :)

Glad to hear everything went well and that you're back home!

Congrats!

Lucky you with the cushy thing to lay on!  When I had my surgery, it was that cold metal table and when I finally woke up my back hurt so bad they had to give me morphine--it wasn't even surgery pain, it was just my back from laying on the damn table.

I know, I was afraid because I hurt my back the Friday prior

you should of seen my face when I noticed the cushy set up
