free2live 6 Posted May 24, 2013 All done.How did you go freetolive? Surgery was Tuesday, and they sent us ( my husband and I ) home on Thursday. I'm so glad they kept us that extra day. We had to wait in recovery almost 6 hrs because all the beds were full on the bariatric floor. 8hrs after surgery I wasn't able to urinate so they had to straight cath me. After that I was able to go, but didn't have the urge until later that night. I also didn't get much fluids in during the hospital stay but glad we had the IV fluids going. Our surgeon also puts in a JP drain tube on everyone but that was removed the day we came home. Right now I'm dealing with terrible back pain, they think it could have been the way I was positioned in surgery. My incisions are a little sore but nothing unbearable. I made a shake this morning that I'm sipping on, it's one they made for us in the hospital and I really liked it. I have four incisions and a bandage over where the drain was. We slept in recliners at home last night and that was pretty comfortable. How did your surgery go, and how are you feeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
