I'm home and now playing the DRAIN PAIN game.

I have 5 tiny sutures that are healing well (itching like crazy) and my plumbing was re-wired, and the ONLY pain I have is from this stupid DRAIN! I was/am so optimistic about surgery, and thank God that this website is here for support and information, but there's definately a MAJOR lack of details about post-op pain! I am walking and sipping and taking my pain meds and b12. I have some gas, not too painful, which chewable gas x is helping, and farting is a great feeling right now. Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers! I would not have been able to come this far without OH! I'll be back soon to update my profile and fill you all in somemore, pics and all!

congratulations!! thats why I like to stay "raw " on my journey I choose to share thru my expericence so far. Ive found that it helps to take not just the b12 , but the others as well, it gives u more energy, the pain meds can have the side effect of gettin u constipated. I asked myself is it pain or pressure? pressure or gas? and I dont take them anmore. Im only 5 days post op and feel like I have to burp all the time, gas ex helps with it but not much, but def walkin the same nite after sx was the best thing I did!!!. thanks for sharing and ur feedback.

I am happy to hear you are doing well and thanks for the tips I have surgery a week from tomorrow
