Argnewcan 3 Posted July 13, 2012 My surgery was at 7:30 am on Wednesday and I got home today around noon. I've had no issues, knock on wood. No vomiting, no extreme pain, just a little soreness in my abdomen.My upper arms are bit stiff from all the shots they give you. Being groggy for the first 24 hours was the most disconcerting. I couldn't text for the life of me! I took two books and two magazines but did not try to read them. I just dozed a lot. All in all, not a bad experience at all. 1 Stephyfly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paulson1304 14 Posted July 14, 2012 I had my surgery yesterday at 9:15am and I didn't wake up from the anesthesia until noon, that day was riff but today is much better. Did u need cathetor in? I can't pee on my own they said my bladder is still asleep so I have to wear one now and its supper uncomfortable. Worse part of all this I would say, I go home tomorrow. Good luck.

Argnewcan 3 Posted July 14, 2012 My catheter came out the day after surgery. There was no pain or discomfort. I came home with pain meds but don't feel the need to take them. If I didn't know better, I would wonder if I an operation at all. Crossing my fingers that this luck continues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
