andi525 8 Posted May 9, 2012 Normally they don't fill them. My doc says he has done so many surgeries that he can gauge where a person can start at. His feelings are that his patients shouldn't be hungry when the swelling goes down. My dr put filled mine a little as well during surgery. I see him Thursday so I'm eager to ask him exactly how much He put in! My gas pains were gone by day 3, but my stomachs rumbles a lot still Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbbanded 70 Posted May 9, 2012 I have a question. I see everyone is talking about insane pain levels, do the doctor not give a pain med? I went to see my surgeon two weeks ago and gave me a prescription on the spot, I didn't even ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
