I'm Now Post-Op

Jan 17, 2011

Well, I had surgery early on 1-14-11, and it is now 1-18-11.  My first 3 days were all about gas pains. A nurse told me just before I left the hospital that when they put you to sleep for surgery your gut goes to sleep too.  If you take the perscription pain reliever, it wants to continue to sleep.  She said if I could handle ibuprophen things would wake up quicker=less gas issues.  I don't know what's normal in the gas department, but day 4 was better, and today, day 5 seems to be a lot better.  I do need to remember to take my ibu about 2:00pm or I have a sinking spell about 3:00pm. and feel kind of crappy.  So far it seems to be the only time I feel like that. I have started  a new healthier life.  I agree with whoever said it's not WLS (weight loss surgery) it's HLS (healthy life style).
