Good luck sweetie...you will be just fine.

Take some vaseline lip care in as your lips get dry with the oxygen hun.

My first day right up to this day have been brilliant, I have sailed through with no probs at all. (says me who is only 16 days post-op!!).

Let us all know how you are when you are home xxxxxx
 
Hi Alison

1st 24 hours weren't too bad...had my op around 2.30pm, but then slept on and off till next morning 5.30am

was a little uncomfortable around the middle, but managed the 3.5 hour car journey home no problem (I sat in the back)...a good idea may be to take a pillow or cushion to hold against your tum when travelling back..I had to use my dressing gown but it helped loads.

very good luck and let us know how you get on :hug99:
