Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hey, guys....... Well, I made it. Actually, I'm beginning to wonder if Dr. R did anything in the tummy or not! I am dying for a pizza!!!! My surgery was 5-26-2000 - at around 3:30. When the anesthesia started wearing off that evening, around 9:00 p.m. - I had some serious pain in my chest (behind my sternum) from the gas. It was gone by the next morning. So far, knock on wood, no nausea. Have had a few episodes of diarrhea this morning - but they were the first. Have lost about six pounds. Still can't tell when I'm full......have to remind myself to stop eating because of fear of popping a staple and developing a leak! I don't know why and this surely sounds stupid... but my biggest fear is that I won't lose very much weight! Guess I'll feel better a few months from now when I've shed a few pounds. There were actually six of us that day - there were two guys who were not on our list. (from Raleigh) wasn't doing so well when I left Sat. morning......... - u out there? My prayers are with you, hon. Della was still in bed, but said she felt fairly O.K. and was getting ready to start moving about some. Janelle - what a trooper - was up and bouncing around that night.........she amazed me. IF it had not been for the gas pain, I guess I'd have felt better....... I gotta go now -- getting tired - will post more when I come back to work - on Thursday...
