The side I sleep on has the battery. That side is still tender so a good nights sleep hasn't happened yet. Everythin g is healing well. When I do eat food it seems like the stomach expands and presses against the battery which in turns presses against the ribs; at least that is what I think. Maybe I am a little I'll discuss it with the Dr. this week.
Day 4 after Surgery
May 23, 2016
Getting old isn't any fun. You don't bounce back as fast as one hopes. All in all I am doing great. The pain in the shoulders from having the stomach filled with gas was/is worse than the incision spots. Have not relied on the pain meds too much. The only surprise was the incision where the battery is implanted is bigger than I thought or led to believe. Then again, I am not entering any bathing suit contests so it really doesn't matter. I might have a great made up story how I was stabbed and shot 4 times and they still couldn't kill me or I could say I had Vbloc WLS. ;-}
