I was in the middle of a desktop refresh project at all of our sites when I got the last minute notice that they had an opening for the next week.  I had to put a pause on that after the procedure for a few weeks as I wasn't able to lug all the new PCs from site-to-site.

I didn't really notice a lot of swelling on mine, though the one on my upper-right abdomen does still get itchy from time-to-time.

The surgeon sent me home with two prescriptions.  The hydromorphene and a laxative.  I didn't take the laxative until the next day.  What I forgot was that they filled my abdomen with co2 to do the procedure.  The laxative certainly helped that co2... uhm, escape.  After that I felt less bloated and felt like I could take deeper breaths.
