Here is an update!

-they took 10 inches of signups area

-The rest of my intestine,colon look pretty good they said, no inflammation or infection.

-they did the nerve block for midsection, this reduced need for opiods and pain has been minimal

-most of my pain is in the right lap incision i guess because that is there the most muscle is that they cut through, ive been hot and cold packing that area

-I'm up walking and first positive improvement is no more bladder pressure and I'm peeing normaly, yay! I'm eating small amounts of yogurt and scrambled eggs..for those who had surgery does that sound ok to eat? I haven't eaten since SundAy evening..zoo hungry..today right now is my first meal

      Thank you for your kind words! I hope my experience helps others..I'm leaving the hospital in a hour, a little nervous but happy to get outta here..The shoulder pain from the lapo surgery has subsided like they say it will, so if you get that like many do, no worries it does go away!
