Day 2 & 3 I felt very sore, but by day 5 I was feeling pretty good.<br /><br />Walking up and down stairs helps too, which is what my doc recommended, did lots of that and the shoulder pain wasn't too bad. Also, shoulder massages and rotating the shoulders help.<br /><br />Take care.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821331052056806581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968478970708837746.post-75661645166216831432010-02-27T01:51:42.321-08:002010-02-27T01:51:42.321-08:00So sorry that you have had a rough time.

Bonnie :...Thank you for your comments and advice. <br /><br />Bonnie : don't worry it is all worth it anyway.Even now with the gas pain I am still not regretting anything.<br /><br />Jacquie: They wheeled my down with the gown and a blanket on then. then put me to sleep on the operation table with my gown and a towel on. I woke up with my gown and blanket on in my bed. I am still wondering how many people it took to move my asleep body onto the bed.<br /><br />i bought some tablets for trapped wind its helping a bit but still there and painful. I went for a number 2 for the first time since the operation this morning and i think it helped a bit too but i still get the sharp pains in the left shoulder. hopefully by the end of the week it will be better.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178726728920889457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968478970708837746.post-6120173528460991562010-02-26T13:49:57.457-08:002010-02-26T13:49:57.457-08:00One more question for you: How do I install a tic...One more question for you: How do I install a ticker for weight lost in my blog?

I ...Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I live in Florida and will be traveling to Mexico for my surgery on 3/24 so I'm kind of in the same boat (or is that plane?) as you. I am dreading the travel back to Florida. <br /><br />Here is my question: when they wheeled you in the operation room, I am assuming you were wearing a hospital gown. Did you have a gown on when you woke up? I just keep seeing my fat naked body with arms extended on the table. Horrible visual for me!<br /><br />I'm so happy you are through the worst of it and can now concentrate first on healing and then on losing the weight once and for all!Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612121609893900847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968478970708837746.post-41712185725266110272010-02-26T10:28:47.582-08:002010-02-26T10:28:47.582-08:00I am so glad that everything went well!

You did great!<br />I remember that I had gas pains for about a week. The thing that helped me the most was called Maalox Total Relief. Once I found that, It was smooth sailing for me. It also helped with my nausea. <br />Here is a link: http://www.maaloxus.com/index.shtml?totalStomachReliefLiquid<br /><br />I hope you are pain free soon and that you have a great visit with Sam. <br /><br />((Hugs)) JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825425735172749255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968478970708837746.post-65170522670727568762010-02-26T04:38:23.595-08:002010-02-26T04:38:23.595-08:00Glad to hear you are home safe and sound.
