Jocy 10 Posted April 4, 2012 Does it hurt when they pull the pump out? I'm having mine in syosset hospital and they said I can't have nobody in the room. Only visitor hrs 11 to 8pm. That really sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destined_dva 20 Posted April 4, 2012 It didn't hurt me when they took the drain out this morning. It was an uncomfortable pressure feeling. I am working on warm to room temp beverages. Walking makes those tense areas feel so much better. Tomorrow I'll be adding unflavored Protein to my broth and crystal lite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joycelyn 19 Posted April 5, 2012 Emily glad your getting to home. I feel 100times better since I got home on Wednesday. I may be crazy but I'm going to try to drink some watered down coffee.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debra McDermott 4 Posted April 6, 2012 I have to admit that I had pain when I woke up from surgery. I remember croaking "help me" but then I remember the pain getting better shortly after. I remember throwing up a couple of times in recovery, but it got better pretty quickly. I remember being able to move from the gurney to my hospital bed without too much discomfort. I was up pretty quickly using the bathroom and then walking the hallway about 6 hours after surgery. Don't be too afraid of the initial discomfort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
