kimk1999 450 Posted February 3, 2014 You're going to be expected to pee before you go. I was in a decent amount of pain and very sleepy. Hope everything goes well for you. Where are you located as I'm headed to bed (Florida, USA here) 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABandCalledWanda 25 Posted February 3, 2014 Leaving for the hospital in an hour ,surgery at11,excited and scared. What do I expect when i wake up ? I felt a little pain and just general discomfort. I asked for a kleenex to blow my nose (who knows why?). I do remember saying yes to every inquiry of pain and therefore receiving pain meds. I found out later that I was very combative while coming out of anesthesia. That could explain my general discomfort. I was thirsty. Oh my goodness. At some point I talked the nurse into letting me swish and spit b/c I was miserable. It felt much better to be up and moving around, vs lying in bed. My advice? When you get home make sure you have something you can grab onto or anchor yourself with when you try and get in and out of bed. Those stomach muscles are SORE!

kimk1999 450 Posted February 3, 2014 I was allowed to drink right away well when I got to the second stage of recovery. First recovery was me asking for more pain meds every time they asked as well. Lol. 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steph2012 252 Posted February 3, 2014 You're surgery is over by now & you know exactly what you could expect. I'm sure you are rockin' it! Some people experience discomfort while others have a tougher time. If you are experience pain, ask for meds. Thank God for pain meds.
