Feeling pretty poorly although I'm sure that will soon pass. My sats are quite low (about 84) although they were 96 before. Hoping this doesn't lead to me needing O2 at home. Anybody have any experience this.? Thanks.

Be strong the worst is over and I'm so pleased your op went well. Now you have to take time to recover fully, but you will get there

When I have my op I'm praying mine will be as successful as yours. You take things à day at a time and please keep us updated. Have a lovely day and take care of yourself 😊 Bernadette xxx

Good heavens! You've just had major surgery, it's no wonder you are feeling a bit poorly. Don't rush it, take your time and you might have to change your name Wheezylady . 😉😘

After my op it was a out 10 days I think until I started to feel better so hang on in there as everything gradually starts to heal.

Well done. I hope you have some help close by? Rest and more rest is the secret to recovery I would think. Books, crosswords, puzzles, naps, all help. X

Glad to hear the operation went well and was a success. I assume it will take some time to see the benefits of the surgery but will pray you will see significant improvements given time. I hope you let us know how things change and hopefully improve with time.
