Can someone get it for you? That would help. Tell them (er staff) you're in pain now that you haven't had ur meds since 10.... get demanding. Tell them you need something. Where do you live? What hospital? If you need someone to talk to pm me ill give u my number we can text I had my surgery 6/11

I had my surgery 6/11 too. They just gave me tylenol with codeine (finally) and am now waiting for my doctor to come in, inject multiple shots of lidacaine into my stomach and use a scalpel to open the old incision and drain whatever is in there. Best case scenario is I leave with gauze and antiboiotics - worse is I'm here overnight and they have to take blood and put in an IV and god knows what'll be wrong with me

Ask them for morphine before they open it. Even with the lido!!!

Ughhhhh just got home. Worst experience of my entire life, worse than surgery. They shot me 5 times with lido (honestly only felt one though) and then proceeded to cut me open with a scalpel and basically finger banged my insides until all the pus and infection came out. Even with the lido it was very painful, and of course I absolutely LOATHE the feeling of numbness, it bothers me almost to the point of nausea, so the entire time I'm flailing and I even cried due to the pain which I have never done. I've cried plenty of time in fear of pain but never from being in pain. I was just so terrified and overwhelmed. Now I have an open incision with a shit ton of gauze and have to go back every day to get the packing switched and am on antibiotics. This has been the worst day of my life thus far, for awhile I really felt like this surgery wasn't worth it.

My incision was left open from the surgery every day I take the packing out shower then repack it myself then tape gauze on it. Not so bad. Except I look like I have a vagina on my belly lol

Ouch, it's really good you went in though. I know your not feeling good right now but it could have been way worse. Rest and heal up woman, no wrestling with boyfriend.

surgery date: 2/18/2012
