Had surgery yesterday

[ReDianne 12]

Well I had my surgery yesterday. Everything went great and I am feel very good. Not much pain only a little tenderness around the incision areas. Have some discomfort in my should but they warned me of that. Anyway I am excited that I am now on the other side of surgery and feeling good.

Walk and sip Water.

That's the plan. I have been moving around quite a bit and Water is always close by. Thanks????

Congratulations ReDiane. I am in the beginning process. I have an interview next week with the nutrionist. How long were you in the hospital? Did they give you any pain medication?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I stayed the night because I have sleep apnea. I think most people have day surgery

[MarieMarie 346]

Really good meds. I took as Doctor ordered first night and next day and then a few times at night just because I thought I would get a better sleep

[Solagirl 4]

Thank you for the information. I too have sleep apnea.

[ReDianne 12]

Mine was outpatient so I was only at the hospital a total of 5 hours. I was given pain meds but honestly have not needed them. I took a dose the first night just to help me make sure that I got good rest but other than that have a need them at all.

I had a hernia repair done at the same time. This might have been why I needed some meds for 3 days
