its been on week! sorry I haven't posted anything about my surgery before now. but the surgery went well. I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired at the same time. i'm still having gas pains in my shoulders. under my collar bone. does anyone know when that goes away? I have a post op appt on Thursday so I will keep you posted on my progress.
I was able to get it out of my shoulders while I was in the hospital....I walked like a maniac while I was there, but once I got home it has seemed to have settle on my lower left side and no matter how much I walk each day...it's still there!
They say walking is the best....good luck and my Post op is Thursday as well! Yaay Us!
