Surgery is over!

My surgery was October 2, 2013 at 1:00 PM. They started a little late, but it was about a 4 hour surgery. I had a heard time waking up, so I didn't go home until 4:30 AM today. I wasn't in pain but I did have severe dizziness and some vomiting. But now I am fine. I've been able to eat what I want without any issues. I've only taken 2 Tylenol extra strength and my antibiotics. That's about it.

So glad to hear that your surgery went well. I am 2 weeks post-op. my word of advice is to rest. Also realize that the first week or so you will have good days but you might also have some bad ones. Don't get discouraged just know that tomorrow will get better.

Tomorrow

I just returned from my marking appointment and picked up my prescriptions! This time tomorrow I should be in recovery. Surgery is at 1:00 and I report to the hospital at 11:00 AM. Dr. Van Pelt said she could probably take me down to a large C.....I'm currently a G, so that would be great, if it can be done safely and of course that is her priority. M

Nothing to drink after midnight

As silly as this may sound, I am practicing not drinking anything when I get up in the morning. My surgery isn't until 1 with a hospital check in at 11. It's not too bad, so I'm happy I will be able to do it. I'm so used to drinking water.....about a gallon a day.

I'm sure you can't wait for your surgery day! I was worried about not being able to drink after midnight. I drank a ton of water the day before. Not eating wasn't a big deal...I even didn't mind that my husband had McDonalds for breakfast while we were in the car. But let me tell you...I just wanted some water. I survived :) Good luck and keep us posted!
