Hello
The surgery went well (~ 5 hours). There was no pain for 24h as I was given painkillers in the spine. But there was a tube that went through the nose-mouth-stomach to drain out juices for around 36 h, which made me feel nauseous severely. Recovery for me was good but I had pain (as expected), the main problem with me was oxygen levels, one of my lungs were not working properly post surgery. I kept on walking, using respirator to get it fixed. Appetite was very less, and it is not yet normal. Little portion sizes make me full, I have a big nausea problem when stomach is empty. Going for my endoscopic ERCP today. Hope this would be helpful. Good luck!
