3 days out...

To all my May friends... I am looking at all of you going into your surgery dates and wanted to let you all know that you will do wonderful. We have all made this decision for ourselves to better our lives and no matter what questions come to us before and after the surgery, we are all in this together and will succeed in making our lives better. I am 3 days out now. Walking a little bit more, up and down stairs, even went down to the basement to wash clothes today. I will say, the worst problem I have is the gas pains... If they can give you anything for it, go for it... otherwise, no problems with the incisions and no problems yet with nausea. My doctor was excellent, they described everything in detail before and after, the nurses were outstanding. I guess this made it all that much better. To all of you that have had your surgery, I wish you a speedy recovery with NO complications, to all of you that are waiting, Come join us on the loser's bench, it will be worth it all in the end.....

I second that, Schatzi said it perfectly!

Hi Schatzi, CONGRATS!!!! and thank you. Can't wait to join you on the loser's bench!!!! Kelly

Congratulations!! Glad to hear you are doing well. Thanks, see you on the losing side soon!! ~~Betsy

Walking helps get rid of the gas. Keep moving and congrats on being a post-op!

I use those Gas X strips that work great for that extra gas. Congrats Schatzi and welcome to the losers bench!
