Hello! I am having my surgery on wednesday. Very nervous as expected. Handhold please and feel free to keep me accompanied with funny stories or stories about gallbladder surgery? How was your recovery?

I honestly can't remember if my tongue was dry but remember my throat being sore. I hope you're doing okay and healing well, sorry to hear you had to return to the hospital.

Hello all,

Still recovering its been up and down had to go back to the hospital.

I am not taking any medication since friday. However i still have a dry tongue after the surgery. Is this common for it to last this long?

Thank you

Hope you're ok - how are you tonight?
I had a sore throat too but not tongue.

I felt so well after mine, I was inventing dances with dd. Don't do it. I developed a double hernia on the midline andbit was very painful. Apparently something had pompes through the layers in two.places. Think the surgeon should have used a few more stitches. My scars have faded and are now hardly visible.

@RebeccaCloud9 its a risk of anaesthesia; placing the tube can sometimes result in knocking a tooth even being careful. https://rcoa.ac.uk/sites/default/files/documents/2022-06/04-DamageTeeth2019web.pdf#:~:text=The%20overall%20risk%20of%20damage,teeth%20before%20the%20anaesthetic%20starts.

@HootyMcBooby76 hi, what digestive enzyme and probiotic did you use? Have they helped?

@MumInBrussels hi, what minor issues did you have? How long did they last?
