sorry it has taken me so long to post, but i'm back

first I had my surgery 7/28. and I showed up at 6AM they took me back pretty quickly. I was fist on the roster and before I knew it I was waking up in recovery. I loved my PCP pump, was sad when it was taken away. he was able to do it lap and I am happy about that. The worst thing about my hospital stay was htat I had my period and that absoulutly sucked! The GI test was horrible, it tasted like vomit. I have been good on the no nausua thing but am experiencing terrible pain at my G tube site, they said this was normal, but it hurts. Pain has been my biggest enemy so far, I am having trouble seeing an end to it. Eating is a chore, but I am getting in my protein and water, I gag a bit on the vitamins (building blocks). lost 18 lbs, since pre-opt diet.

Amy, Yeah!! Glad that you are home- the pain will get better everyday and soon you will feel like a new woman!! Terri

Welcome home Amy. Hope your recovery is quick. Take care of yourself. Vickie

Welcome home Amy! We are all here to encourage you along in your recovery! The G tube is uncomfortable, but it will be out soon. Protect your tummy with pillows, that helps. Rest, take your pain medications. You've been through alot. Blessings, Tami
