Houston17 115 Posted April 13, 2013 Surgery on Wednesday. Discharged on Thursday. I'm finding recovery to be a little difficult. You will probably need help with your kids. 2 Tink22-sleeve and magpie30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted April 13, 2013 I stayed two days but one day would have been enough for me.. I was told strictly NO lifting and NO bending, NO twisting, NO stretching and reaching for the first week.. and after that no lifting anything over 15 pounds until 6 weeks.

Tink22-sleeve 528 Posted April 13, 2013 I stayed 2 nights and I was glad I did. I was happy to have the IV pain meds and the extra care. I had my sister at home to help me for the first two days at home and I was grateful. I would recommend that you have help with your little ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMO 193 Posted April 13, 2013 I was sleeved on a Monday at 7am and released the next day about 2pm. You will have to rest when you get home and concentrate on getting your fluids in. Some help will really be needed with your little ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
