First of all, my surgery went very well. According to my doctor, I was the perfect patient. I have no other health conditions besides slight HBP at times. I was in and out within 45 minutes for the operation and in the hospital for 2 days. No matter how much I read, there were 2 things that I wasn't prepared for - the pain and the complete lack of appetite. I have to force myself to drink and take protein shakes and I am barely getting 64 ounces. I don't do well with pain meds as they make me loopy and nauseous but I didn't realize that I can never again take Advil, only Tylenol. If I ever hear anyone say surgery is the easy way out again, they are going to get an earful. While I don't regret my decision, I am wondering when my life will be semi-normal again. Thanks for listening.
