sissy13 138 Posted November 14, 2013 Had surgery yesterday (11-12-13). My 1st night was terrible. Couldn't keep Water, ice chips, broth ANYTHING down. Today was supposed to go home but didn't get to bc of that. Had bp spike and qestioned if I had done the right thing with having surgery untill good friend reminded me why I wanted this surgery so she put my mind back at ease. I'm praying these popsicles (only thing my tummy can handle)will keep staying down and I can go home tomorrow. 1 luv2plumb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SassyTink 78 Posted November 14, 2013 More positive thoughts are going your way. Everyone says that they question their decision to have surgery on the first few days following the procedure. They also report that the doubts go away in a few days and you are ready to embrace your new life. 1 covered jewels reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnThePage 220 Posted November 14, 2013 Be sure to stay ahead of the curve with meds if you are having pain. Take them on schedule, don't wait for pain to build because it becomes much harder to stop. Pain slows your healing down. If nausea continues, your doctor can prescribe meds for that. Take it easy when you get home and take good care of yourself! Get as much rest as you can--when you are not walking, that is! 1 luv2plumb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
