Lol, the drag your butt out of bed the same day you have surgery!!! Like it or not . A heating pad was awesome for both the gas and surgical pain FYI.

Once I was up (that was the fun part) I actually felt better while moving around. Granted, I held the IV pole for support and leaned forward a bit the first day or two but it really isn't that bad. Plus you'll have good drugs in your system!!!

did u have the pain pump? My dr. has stopped it and is using IV Tylenol n with it dalaudid or morphine.

In all my years as a nurse I've never gave IV Tylenol. Lol but he says its different than a Tylenol pill.

Hi all I just had my surgery on the 31st. I didn't have a drain or anything. My incisions look great very small. I was walking with in 6 hours of my surgery. I stayed in the hospital for an extra day due to my low blood pressure and low oxygen saturation. They let me go today but I did come home on oxygen. They said this some times happens when on hydrocodien. Ill have a follow up appointment on Monday or Tuesday. But I had thought it would have hurt way more than it has. I would say it's all mild discomfort. I wish everyone luck my last 2 weeks flew by. You all will do great!

I have to be at the hospital in 24 hours! OMG I'm freaking out! I'm so excited/nervous/ready to be on the losers bench! I know it's gonna hurt and it's going to test my limits but I am ready. I have prepared, researched, and wanted this for a year and a half and I am interested to see where this takes me

Morphine pump but didn't use it much. Just not a fan of how pain meds make me feel (but I did use it some!!!). Apparently the IV Tylenol has been around a while, just not used in the US until recently. Who knew?!?!?

Mjlange68,

Congrats on making it to the losers' bench! I hope it is smooth sailing over here too. It's still a bit scary *not knowing* if I'll get through these last 3 weeks. OMG! It really is just 3 more weeks!!

I hope you continue to heal.
