hi larry, remember me..I had mysurgery the same day & time as you.. I hope you're well and spirits are high.. My prayers are with you still. My surgery had a small complication. I was under the knife for 2 1/2 hours. Dr. had to scrap exxsessive scar tissue i had from gallblader surg. 13 years ago. the old fashion way.. He warned me after that i will be twice as sore & bloated as the normal pt. I tell you he was right..I am still having terrible pain.. I was in the hospital until Fri. evening.. It was really bad.. Anyway, keep in touch & let me know how u are.. I wou;d enjoy swapping stories..Are youy able to drink your fluids ???
