March 5th and 6th Surgery dates

Hi to all of you that had surgeries yesterday and today!! Please make sure you give us updates as you are feeling better! We are all waiting for them and for you to check in safely!!!!! Rita

Hi guys I am home today and doing very well!! I feel very blessed!!! I finally found a way to lay down today without the pain... I hope that everyone that had surgery the last two days are doing great too!!! I still have some shoulder pain but it's starting to go away. One thing that has REALLY helped me is I bought a heating pad last week and its heaven. That is one huge tip for all. I put it over my incisions and also my shoulder and it's really helped. Another tip is I know it hurts but get up and walk. It makes me feel so much better just to walk a bit around the house. Hugs to all

Hi gang...I had RNY on the 6th and can't believe how good I feel! I am following doctor's orders to a "t" and walking as much as I can. The first 2 days were pretty painful with the gas/bloating. This may sound funny, but I sat forward in a chair and had a friend "burp" me like a baby...that helped tremendously! I have not had any pain killers since Thursday morning, and have just showerd, and am going to go walk out side here in a little bit. I am tolerating the juice/water well, and tomorrow I introduce protein shakes into the day. Hope everyone else is feeling well too!
