Wow had my surgery Wednesday at 10:00A, stayed one night and came home yesterday evening, no regrets yet, lots of pain and soreness, but I got to sleep all nite, my chest pain went away think it was gas, only problem u am having is to keep from taking big swigs of Water, no appetite yet, everything is too sweet right now, but I have a good thirst, so happy I did it!!!!!!?

it will get better - stay hydrated and try to get on OTC pain meds as soon as possible. move around and you will feel better.

My surgery was Wednesday too -- 730 a.m. but I just got home today. Sorry to hear you are in pain. Try sipping slowly. I heard that helps. And take those pain meds -- no point in waiting if you are in pain. A little tylenol might help. Wishing you the best.

Sorry I misspoke, the pain is very manageable here at home, so I don't need the pain mess as much, in fact I told them Thursday morning to take me off morphine and put me on my pain mess, it's the thirst and strong desire to open up a bottle of cold Water and chug that is the problem, I keep sipping and expelling and I even called the Dr.' Office, they said I am doing everything right, but I think it's because I was a very big water drinker these last few years, especially after letting go of sodas, and energy drinks, but hey if that's the worst of my symptoms I can count myself as lucky and I can work with it!!!!!!

I only took prescribed meds for a couple of days and that was at night. Over the counter during the day. prescription drugs made me too sleepy
