Hello all!!! I am 16 days post-op! 23 lbs gone as of my surgeon's visit at 12 days. I am feeling better each day, my main problem has been fatigue, but I have had no nausea or vomiting, Thank God! I have been cleared to return to work whenever I feel I have the stamina for it, preferably 3-4 hrs. a day, I hope to do this next week.
I have to tell you that it was a difficult journey the first 48-72 hrs. The morphine did not agree with me - I had my gallbladder and spleen removed at the same time and I really regreted my decision those first few days. People speak about pain, but until you are the one experiencing it isn't the same. Once I got home it was a lot better, you get no rest at the hospital as we all know....I got so much support from my family!!!! My mom was with me all the time during the day and my 20 yr old daughter(God Bless her) cared for me in the evenings. One of my sisters stayed at the hopital during the first two nights and she was a blessing!
Anyways, Thanks for your prayers and support! Will post again soon!!! Good luck and God's blessings to all those waiting and post ops!!
Best regards, Neysa
