Now I am about 30 hours post surgery and doing decent. My wife had to help me take the bandages off(lucky her), because I obviously couldn't see it very well. It hurt more from the tape pulling hairs. Now I've still been bleeding slightly, but not bad. Still no BM, but I've had some mild gas release. I haven't taken any pain meds since early this morning, because I really haven't needed them. I haven't eaten much because I've been a little nauseous, but have been really good with the fiber intake, stool softeners, and plenty of fluids. Hopefully once I do have a BM it will be smooth. I'm sure it will hurt no matter what, but I'm hoping for the best. Thanks for the support out there. It has been helpful knowing there are people out there knowing what I'm going through. Good luck with everyone else!
