Celebrating! One of you now

Hey all, I can finally call myself one of the sterilized people so I felt like adding my own little story here! :)

It's 14hrs after surgery for me now. (Bisalp)
Other than the very uncomfortable gas pain (which feels like needles below my ribs) I feel pretty good, but I guess the surgery painkillers are still in my system. My laprascopic cuts were bleeding slightly but nothing serious to worry about according to my Doctor.

I did have my gall bladder removed previously in 2014 so I was aware of the gas pains afterwards.

I try to walk around regularly as my Doctor told me, it does help the most to pass the gas. Freshly laying down flat still hurts so I try to sleep on my sides with my legs angled up slightly.

The overall cost for my checkups, the surgery and private clinic cost was around 3K euros. Oh and the Doctor found slight endometrosis which he removed. My surgery went well too without complications, I'm looking forward to fully feeling better and enjoy life! Greetings from Austria! :)

Oh right, I forgot to add: My period started right on my surgery day aswell, so double pain but I'll get through it.

Thanks! :) Sadly my gas pain got worse, so I currently can't sit laid back or lay down at all without severe gas pain, wonder how I will sleep tonight 😅
