chuck415 89 Posted November 11, 2015 Well, I finally had surgery yesterday. Surgery began at 7:30, I was in my hospital room at 10:30 and by 11:30 I was up walking the halls. Pain was minimal, no nausea,heartburn, etc. the hardest part was nothing to drink the rest of the day. Started today at 5:30 am walking the hall. By 8 am I started the phase 1 liquids. One ounce every 15 minutes has been no problem even threw in some broth and couple of Popsicles. Walked the halls so much most of the staff and half the other patients knew my name. Met with surgeon at 4 pm who said I was doing excellent and let me come home. Feeling blessed not to have any complications so far. Thanks to everyone here who have shared their experiences and advise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
