Finally feeling better

Hello Everyone!!

Well i had surgery on Monday and all went well except the surgeon found a hernia and had to remove it!! Oh man what a shocker!! I felt so horrible after surgery not pain wise but it just felt like i couldn't breathe!! I kept thinking i was going to stop breathing and i kept calling the nurses and they kept trying to calm me down, I was having an anxiety attack and they had to give me lorazepam!! I was walking just a few hours after surgery, no problems there. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital so I came home on Wednesday morning...

I have had no vomiting but i feel weird because i don't know if I'm drinking enough fluids or what, last night it felt like i was so full but i know i hadn't drank anything in hours, i felt really bloated too!! I don't have to take any vitamins for another week or so as directed by the doctor, my follow up appointment is Monday  so i hope everyone who has had surgery is doing well and please take care!!!

The bloating could be from the gas they pump into your abdomen during surgery.  It can take about 2 weeks to go away.  I am still suffering from it.  Best wishes - sorry it was so stressful for you!

Hey Caligal559, Just wanted to tell you I hope you feel better and like the one above me said it can take up to 2 weeks for everything to wake up. Hope you feel better soon.
