atcgoddess1 37 Posted May 24, 2012 I had my surgery on Monday. Got home from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. This is late Wednesday night. I got in all of my Fluid, all of my Protein and walked for over an hour in the park this evening!! I don't know what I expected but it surely wasn't this. One of my friends, Jen in SoCal told me to get up ASAP and I did. I walked 16 laps around the floor the night of my surgery and eight the next morning before I left. I find it really hard to get up out of bed but other than that I feel great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted May 26, 2012 Very encouraging! I was told we have to stay in the hospital 2 nights minimum but, sounds like you were able to go home after 1 night and doing well. That's great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panda 354 Posted May 26, 2012 Getting up and moving is definitely the key. I went home next day as well....of course I didn't do 16 laps but got up and moving...even before they removed the catheter.

Panda 354 Posted May 26, 2012 The gas is BEYOND my expectations! Anyone else?? 2 months 5 days post op and I'm still gassy...nutritionist said its the stuff they use to make things sugar free. I stopped Crystal Light and gas subsided a lot. But the good thing is the gas let's u know that u don't have a bowel obstruction Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
