MaeConnie68 1 Posted May 6, 2011 Good Evening, Well I home from the hospital today. My sleeve was picture picture according to my dr. I will say the worst is the gas. I made a mistake yesterday and tried to walk it out instead of asking for help. Boy I regreted that. They doped me up pretty good last night. I woke this morning a new women. I am glad I am home no more of waking me up every two hours to check vitals and blood sugar. I am sore but nothing I can handle. I wil give one piece of advice if you are in pain let me know dont let get out of hand. I thought I could handle it. The staff at South Miami Hospital are the best and very caring. Well I thought I would make a small post. To my red velvet gang I made it....Meggie and all my gang good luck next week. Connie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lkcraig316 4 Posted May 7, 2011 Congratulations, Connie!!! I'm so glad your surgery was successful and you are feeling better. I agree about the pain meds. I had a pump and whether I needed it or not, I pushed that sucker as often as it would let me. I figured I would have plenty of time at home to try to handle the pain on my own. If that stuff was available, I was using it!!! And it turns out I haven't had to take anything since I've been home. Keep hanging in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
