readyforachange38 0 Posted July 13, 2011 That is great!! They told me that if I am off my IV and can control pain with the meds they give me, I'll be able to go home the next day too. I hope I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 14 Posted July 13, 2011 I actually think the liquid Lortab works better that the Morphine. I guess I have alittel more swelling cause i had a huge hernia!! Sounds like it is stand procedure in this hospital to let people out eary. The lady that was next to yesterday was here only overnight for her Gastric Bypass! I think that's a bit extreme but we had different surgeons! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leslie 14 Posted July 13, 2011 I am trying not to over do it! I am working on sipping my meds downs with an Isopure. I had a bad hernia so the doc told me my restriction will be much more pronounced for a few week. That maka me nervous that I won't be about to get all my fluids in.

RSREED53 4 Posted July 13, 2011 Leslie, I am glad you are doing so well!! Just take extra care in doing dr's orders at home. I got to go home a day early, too. However, mine was revision surgery, so dr kept me in the hospital 3 days and 2 nights. But I agree that there is no place like home when you are on the mend!! Keep up the great progress!!
