Gall bladder gone- feeling better

Day of surgery (monday). I refused the narcotics while in recovery. I didn't fill the prescription for Vicodin. I just took a couple of doses of extra strength Tylenol for the incision pain. My experience with prescription pain pills is not good- usually more nausea than pain relief.

Day after surgery. The gas is worse than the VSG surgery.  The stomach muscle pain is mild, and the incision pain is non-existent. I wanted to take a nap, but lying down made the gas pain worse. Apparently it is in my right shoulder and under my diaphragm -exactly where the nurse said it would be. The pain under my diagphram made breathing while lying down more difficult.

Wednesday. Woke up with much less pain. Took a great nap later because lying down is no longer painful.  I think that I will take a walk outside tomorrow and maybe drive the few blocks to the store.

Glad that sucker is gone. Good riddance!

Glad to hear you are feeling better.  take it easy and dont over do it.

 Good riddance is right!! Hopefully you'll be back to normal very soon :)

I walked the cuddlesac today. My friend says that it was almost a quarter mile. After a surprise visit, I layed down for a nap even though I didn't feel tired. I know that sleep, exercise, and protein are good for healing. Apparently I was tired because I went to sleep almost immediately and slept for about 45 minutes.

Glad to hear you're recovering well and taking it easy!

Rest up! :)

 Good riddance to the gall bladder.  Wishing you a quick recovery.
