Survived

Farkinelle · January 16, 2011

Hey everybody!

Made it through the surgery, not the best experience of my life, but I lived to tell the tale!

I'm home now and on the liquid diet. I t was so nice to sleep in my own bed and next to my wonderful husband who never left my side in the hospital (except for in the OR).

What pain control did everyone have post-op? I'm very interested to find out, I'm a nurse and was planning to do a paper on VSG and pain control.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Sorry should've posted this in the post-op thread....I'll do that now!

That's great, I know you're husband is probably relieved as well.

In the hospital I faithfully got Torodol (sp) shots every 4 hours. I hardly felt any discomfortment except getting in and out of their bed. I was prescribed liquid Loratab for at home. Then I took children's liquid tylenol as needed.
