Christmas surgery

[Karen D]

Im meeting with surgeon this week. I have a dilemma. If she should ask if I want surgery beginning of dec. Dont know what to do. I don’t mind the not eating but I’m having my family for Christmas Day and don’t know how I will be feeling. Everyone says they will help out. Or should I just wait till 1st week in January. Anyone else in this predicamen?

I felt pretty good, although tired easily. So if people are aware and willing to help cook and clean or whatever you would normally be doing then I think you would be fine. Everyone is different though, so it really is hard to say.

Your gas pains from the surgery might make it hard for you to cook for Christmas for everyone. I’m 5 days post op and my gas pains are 10/10 right now I almost went to the ER last night. Everyone is different tho. Just don’t push yourself too hard and you’ll be ok

I have been taking gas-x chewables, it's been helping. The majority of my pain is the incisions instead of gas. I'm taking twice a day with the pepcid and pain killer.
