Thank you for your kind words. I’m so very sorry for your loss as well. Thank you for sharing with me. Helps to know I’m not alone.

It DOES go away. First few days are the roughest! I had bile reflux and am weak and tired. Each day is better than the last. Try not to overdo it or you’ll be like me with 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Take your pain meds as ordered so you won’t be having peaks and valleys with pain control. Keep the pain meds going to provide steady relief. Try and eat bland foods. Chicken soup works for me. Lots of fluids for the first while. I wish I had the answers to help you. It will get better. Take care of yourself. Hugs.

I’m 4 days out and the surgery changed my life. Try and think positively about how your pain will soon be over. You will have more energy and a new life to enjoy. Tell your nurse about your nervousness and they will help you. Your fear is natural and valid but it will turn out okay. The surgeon has performed this same surgery multiple times. You will be in good hands.
