shamel811 26 Posted October 16, 2015 I have started my venture on the losers bench. Check in was 7:30 am and surgery was scheduled for 9:30. It got pushed a few hours. I got to recovery around 4:30 ......... I did have pain about a 7 out of 10 but the nausea was at like a 20 it was terrible. The nurses took such good care of me they kept giving me different nausea drugs untill we got it all sorted out If you bring 1 thing other than your person it should be BIOTENE MOUTH SPRAY. It wets your mouth and gets all the funky tastes out etc. I can not urge you more the get the $6 spray My lower back is what hurt me the most when I got into my room. Other than that things have been bearable. The nurse let me Stand in the room to stretch my back and so I could go pee. When I got comfortable they gave me some pain and nausea meds and it knocked me out till about 7. I got up and did about 6 laps around the unit. The nurses were so encouraging telling how much better I looked etc Surgery weight 224.2 Height 5'2 So fats life is good ........ I would however pay a lot o money for a huge glass of ice cold Water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thisfathasgot2go 235 Posted October 16, 2015 Wow, you are already on your phone after surgery. Good for you! The nausea sucks. I did everything I could, had them give me meds, tried to gag with my toothbrush, tried to throw up, etc., to get the feeling off my chest. Sounds like you are doing great. I did not have anything to drink from 8PM on 10/6 to 8AM on 10/8 and it was SO HARD. No ice, no Water, nothing. I thought I was gonna die, but I survived like you! Keep up the good work.
