Debra McDermott 4 Posted April 4, 2012 I'm home from the hospital and the surgery went fine. I was eager to get home because I wasn't able to sleep much in the hospital, but now miss that lovely pain med button. I'm trying to get the liquids down and fighting the urge to stay in bed all day. I've been told moving around will help. All in all I'm doing better than I thought I would. Did great in the hospital, got up and used the bathroom soon after surgery and did some walking around the hospital floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jocy 10 Posted April 4, 2012 Wow. I'm so happy to hear everything went as planned or even better. Mine is approaching and I'm freakin out ! It's the truth. I been told they will leave a leaking bag attached to my stomach from the outside and every often I have to empty it out and so on .. I'm so nervous ..
