2 Days Post Op

Well Just got home Tuesday evening I had my surgery on Monday 2-27-2012. All my friends and family are asking me how I feel so I wanted to share it here also. The surgery went really well but I must say I am pretty sore but that is to be expected after a major surgery but with the pain meds it is not to bad but you know it is there. Dr. Clements was very happy with the way it all went, it took about 21/2 hours for the surgery and 2 more in recovery. Now besides the post - op pain having to go 24 hours without anything to drink not even ice chips was tough. Now all in all I am glad I did it and am looking forward to getting overr the pain and start working out I guess I will find out more about working out when I have my one week check in with Dr. Clements and I will keep posting about recovery while I go thru it. If anyone has a question I will be glad to try and answer it. Ok time for some protein drink...

Great to hear from you! Sounds like everything is going as planned! Wonderful!

Congrats!  Now, comes the fun part. 

Be sure do sip, walk and nap.

Don't push the working out part.  You guts have been rearagned and need time to heal.  Find a set of stairs and walk them.  Walking outside will give you a better workout than walking in a mall.

Congratulations!
Are you still on clear liquids?
How much assistance have you needed at home?

Happy to hear all went well.
