Jen75 33 Posted April 28, 2012 It seems like some doctors like to keep people overnight' date=' and others would rather have them out the door as soon as they are awake.[/quote'] I don't know that it is always the doctors but the insurance companies. It seems that insurance companies only pay up to 23 hours of hospital care for what is considered an "outpatient" procedure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen75 33 Posted April 28, 2012 Does anyone have any tips for nausea? I took the nausea pill I was prescribed but It's not going away... My stomach is all rumbly :-( You should ask your doctor... I was given Rectal suppositories for nausea because anything by mouth was not working for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I only did Water for the first 24 hours, then just Clear Liquids.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca Cain Salpacka 100 Posted April 28, 2012 Slept pretty good from 10-315...got up cuz i had to pee...decided not to lie back down because the pain of standing up from the bed..was HELL! walked up and down our hallway a few times and then sat down here in recliner..gas pain in chest and back is bad...but soreness by incisions is ok while im sitting. chair is up higher than bed so getting up from here isnt as bad as the bed. one of the things that is almost as annoying as the pain...the damn itching around the incisions, and around the tape that holding the gauze over the port....driving me nuts.
