Topic: Just a day and 1/2 to go...
I am ready... well not really... I still have to pack.... get gas, vacuum the house, and dust... THEN I'll be ready! Surgery is Thursday! I don't know what time yet, the hospital will call me tomorrow with my time... but I have not had a single doubt about this surgery since I made the decision to do it last fall!
It seems like it was just yesterday I was at my first informational meeting... and now here I am... at the end of this dance of my life... I can't wait for the music to change and learn a new dance!

Topic: RE: Nine Days and Still Tired
I had the lap on the 15th, I'm still fairly weak. I stopped the pain meds so now im on my normal sleep schedule. I stayed awake all day yesterday. yeah! The pain only bothers me when i get out of bed too soon. I'm going outside for the first time today. Hope everything gets better but i think the tiredness is because of the change,
Topic: RE: Nine Days and Still Tired
I had mine on 4/5 and yes I was extremely tired for like the first 10 days. I now have more energy but I have sharp pains in my left side that start hurting even after a few minutes of activity or walking. Good luck to you! Each day gets better!!
Topic: RE: Nine Days and Still Tired
I am so glad that it is normal to feel tired. I was thinking something was wrong. I had the lap procedure 4/14. I am feeling better everyday, I even walked around the block today!!
Topic: RE: Nine Days and Still Tired
Hey there yes i had surgery the same day and so sorry to hear that you are still tired. I'm thinking maybe its from going to lap to open and its taken a toll on your body, I was able to have the lap and I'm doing great, If i do to much then I get a little tired. If you looked at me you wouldn't even known i had surgery last Monday, its very strange. Of course my incision still hurt along with the gas pain but walking helps with that. I hope each day you get better and stronger!!!
Topic: Nine Days and Still Tired
I know I had major surgery last week but I am used to being so active. I hate that when I get up that I have to go right back to my recliner. Anyone else around 4/12 still very tired.
I had the lap incisions and was changed to an open. Those lap incisions hurt way more than the 12 inch cut down my middle. Maybe soon it will switch.
I am so glad I prepared 48 2 ounce protien pudding cups (I froze them). The only thing I really have to do is make my tea. I am drinking decaf green tea and it is so soothing to have something warm.

Topic: RE: Need help
My meds were also given in the hospital and I take 600mg Seroquel, 350mg Welbutrin, 60mg Cymbalta, 400mg Lamictal and .1mg Ativan.
Betweem my meds and vitamins I don't need to eat (lol). I have put both types of pills into 2 large pill holders with 12 spaces. I have something to take almost every hour.
Call you doc's office asap. Both my psychiatrist and surgeon approved my meds with no change.
