Gals & pals who had your surgery this past week: check in!

I noticed that a bunch of us had bisalps yesterday and wanted to check in with y’all and anyone who recently had theirs done.

I had mine almost 24 hrs ago. I slept on the couch propped up and surrounded by a nest of pillows so I wouldn’t turn on my side accidentally. I woke up this morning feeling like I did 1,000 crunches yesterday. Quite sore when I move, but little pain when resting. I’m gonna try to take a quick shower today, but I’m a bit nervous.

So far I’m still feeling some gas pain and rib popping, and my shoulders ache when I get up and walk around, but I feel a bit less bloated. My doc did a good job of deflating me, as I don’t look bloated at all. There were definitely still pockets of gas under my ribs though.

My throat is much less sore this morning, which I’m very happy about! I could barely talk yesterday, but I’ll continue to rein in my yapping for today. I still have some phlegm, and coughing suuucks.

How is everyone else holding up? Hope y’all are well!!
