I had mine on July 5. Was in the hospital over nite. Had to have something for pain and nausea the first night. Thought I was dying when I woke up from recovery but that was the meds nothing to do with surgery. At home taking it easy Dr. Sent me home with pain meds something for nausea and heartburn. So far have not had to take any of them. Today (Saturday) is the first day I can actually think of drinking anything like a protein shake. But I will say all I can think about is egg rolls. Don’t know why just keeps popping up in my head.
