Something that wasn't talked about...

Jan 27, 2009

...or I didn't find this mentioned when I was doing my research before surgery. 

The day of my surgery was a very good experience.  I arrived at 7:00 and was treated like a queen.  I found out that there were four surgeries that day and I was number two at 9:00.  I got settle in and met everyone and then got my happy shot.  After that I don't remember too much besides my kiss from my wonderful husband.  I later awoke in my room and boy was I hurting.  I never realized that there would be pain associated with this.  Mind you, I have truly felt that I have a very high tolerance for pain.  I mean give me a break, I have had my gallbladder removed, c-section, eye surgery, cateract surgery, breast biopsy and then a v-back delivery and hardly ever took pain meds.  This surgery was a doozy.  I don't know if anyone else experienced the pain that I had.  My doctor did tell us that he had to remove scar tissue from the gallbladder surgery that I had had 20 years ago.  So I have wondered if the pain was associated with the scar tissue removal or the surgery itself.  Oh well I guess I'll never know.  Also, I surely know if I had of known about this pain I'm talking about, I STILL would have had this surgery.

I'm now three weeks out and I'm so excited, down 24.9 lbs and right on target with my goals.  Life is good!
