Default Finally Post Op
Monday was my surgery date and boy what a day it was. My surgery itself was fine and my dr said I did really well. I woke up in the recovery room however and was really sick. I had the dry heaves and nausea all afternoon and stayed there until almost 8 o'clock at night. But once I got into my room I began to feel alot better.
I came home today and am feeling great. In fact there are times that if I didn't have my drain tube I would swear I hadn't had anything done.
Thank you to everyone here for all the advice and encouragment. Many times when I was feeling so unsure, you guys were what helped keep me going.
