27 hours post-op observations

Nov 12, 2013

Here I sit 27 hours post-op. The pain I have experienced has mostly been from gas pains (they inflate your a abdomin for the procedure). It is suppose to be absorbed by your bowl and spelled as gas.  So far absorb - check. Released - nope. And I can say that pan is significantly higher than the incisions/surgical pain. 

Got to have my first "meal" at about 10AM (24 hours post-op).. Some ice!  But considering I had had no moisture of any kind past my low since about 9PM the day BEFORE surgery... It was a godsend. But kind of hard to enjoy too much with the gas pains. 

Oh- and don't burp- it hurts!

Walking isn't too difficult. Have made 10 laps up the hallway so far today.
