Day 2 - PO Lap-Band Surgery

Feb 26, 2009

At first, last night was bad!  I had so much belly pain that I forced myself to go to bed - to no avail.  The gas bubbles were taking over!  I couldn't sleep for nothing.

In such pain, my mother suggested I take half of one of my father's Vicodin pills (I know it's not good to take another person's pills but it was 10pm, and I'm not a medicine person anyway - the Percocet prescribed to me was not working at all.)  So I had a few spoon fulls of high-protein yogurt and then took the half-of-a-Vicodin.  Unfortunately, the Vicodin didn't make the gas bubbles go away, but it did help me sleep...

...then mid-sleep I passed gas!  A huge one too - enough where I woke up!  I could actually feel my belly deflating!  It was wonderful - sorry if this is disgusting to anyone, I just feel the need to tell this.  This happened a few more times and a couple of belches also - it was wonderful.  I then fell back to sleep like a baby. 

I woke up happy, alert, still have a bit of gas bubbles in me, but it's tolerable!  I have plans to go walking again and be even more mobile now that I feel so much better - not a 100% but better!
