Jim/river1 - surgery today

sirstude · December 03, 2008, 09:24:21 AM

Jim, I had mine done in 97, never had any issues until that one time the pain hit. Never had anything hurt so bad in my life. Took about 3 weeks until all the anesthesa came out of my system, but other than that, I was up and running in a week. I can eat onions now, that I never could before, that is probably the only difference from then to now. Just don't be alarmed when you want to go to sleep in the early afternoon for a while, (if you wern't prone to naps before) that is just the anesthesia coming out.

Hey Jim, I know you've been on a diet but taking out parts is cheating.

Hope your recovery is without problems or pain. I was gonna say that you should take advantage of the situation and have someone wait on you, but I've met your room mates and I'd guess they're not the servant types. Enjoy daytime TV.

Those laproscopic surgeries save a lot of recovery time. You'll have a tool in your hand in no time (oh, come on now--I mean a wrench!) LOL!

Wow, they can remove a part of our "insides" on an outpatient basis? Wishing you a quick recovery, I have seen a little of that Oprah crap. Joe

Wife had that done during the Summer. Recovery from the actual surgery was speedy, but her digestive system was so out of wack by the time they figured out what was wrong it took quite a while before she could eat normally again. Hope you get well soon.

That's asking an awful lot from medical science... ~:)
I don't think the research has been done yet... :cry:

Hey Jim, don't worry about those other 'smart guys' you can come over and do my stuff.

My '33 already has a hardwood floor and paint, so what are you like with upholstery and glass?
