The Best and biggest step of my life. 6 Days Post Op

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.  Also, Thank you for your prayers, Surgery is now behind me and the rest of my life a head of me. I am recovering well, but still one of my ports is more sore than the others, which was expected. I guess the hardest part of things was the getting up and walking after surgery and while in the hospital.  To all *****ad this and are waiting for your surgery date, the most important thing you can do is walk, walk, walk.  This will help prevent blod clots and also expel the gas that is inside of you.  The gas will cause more pain than the surgery itself.  The sooner you get up and walk, the better. God Bless, Rich

Merry Christmas to you too, Rich.  Good to hear your recovering well.  Now its sip,walk, sip, rest!!

Rich you are so right on the money. Glad to hear you are doing ok.  I am about 9 days post op and the largest port site which has had the most pain is now subsiding.. I am thrilled at that! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Rich and very well spoken walking will help w/ the gas pains and the gas can be very painful so they say I had open RNY so mine was not all that bad. But walking helps the gas and the blod clots so keep up the good work and keep us posted. Walk, walk,walk and sip, sip, sip and like they said rest. Happy Holidays to all.... 

Merry Christmas and welcome to the losing side.  Glad to hear recovery is going well.  Keep walking & sipping.
