Going to see surgeon on the 28th as we're going out of town. Hopefully he'll do it that week since I'll have th down time.
Can you guys keep it real...
What's the worst and how have you guys felt afterwards?
I've been having stomach pains and burping fits for a while now.
Diagnosed with IBS which means they don't really know wtf's wrong.
Done everything from sonograms, blood tests, to CAT scans.
What am I to expect? This an outpatient procedure?

I can only speak for my experience Wutta so here it is:
I can handle pain but my stomach hurt so bad I went to the Emergency Room. I have never been in the hospital a single day in my life. A few hours later I'm in surgery. Wake up at 1:00 in the afternoon with 4 butterfly-tape-stitches things on my stomach and navel area. A couple hours later they told me I could go home if I wanted.
A little sore for the next day but NOTHING like the pain that I had before hand.
I peed orange for a couple days, my doc was concerned and did a blood check. Sure enough my liver enzymes were way high so thre was a concern the surgeon nicked me in the gulliver during surgery. Then my urine went right back to normal, the enzymes returned to normal and all was well.
All in all it was a walk in the park. I've had hangovers that hurt more and lasted longer.
Wishing you the best.
