I started having attacks 5 months after i had DS, the next month i went to the doctors at the end of the month and i was booked in for surgery a week later. they didnt give me ANYTHING for the pain and it was horrible, i cried everytime i got it.

I had keyhole surgery, i slept for a rather long time after i had it and woke up about 5pm, i had a reaction to the gas but i just slept it off. i cant remember what i ate.. they tried to get me outta bed but i told them i wanted to wait untill DH got there.. he helped me shower and walk around .. it was so painful as i still had the tube and whatever coming outta my belly. but once that tube came out, i could walk ALOT better and wasnt in a great deal of pain. but having a 6 month old nearly 7 months really put limits on what i could do.. DH stayed home for a week all up just to be safe which helped alot.

As for food now, ive been unlucky and most things dont agree with me so i can have good days where i dont needa go toilet but most days guarenteed after a meal im on the toilet.. i really hate it & end up with diarrhea alot.. i really am not keen on it. SORRY ABOUT THE TMI. DS is 3 this month and its still happening. hopefully your luck enough and dont have that problem.

Good luck with your surgery.
