it'sonlythefirststep 141 Posted June 28, 2018 I never pushed the iv pain meds while in the hospital. The nurse would push it after she said your not using your pain meds. She would say you’ve paid for them since it is in iv Fluid so no refunds. I quit taking pain meds after I got home. Only took them the day of surgery and the next day. Once I got home I really didn’t feel I needed them. 1 FLREDHEADMOM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nibble 201 Posted June 28, 2018 Gees, I hope I have that same "problem!" Nice to know what is possible. I envisioned pumping the morphine every 15 minutes. Have they had you up and walking a lot?

it'sonlythefirststep 141 Posted June 28, 2018 I got up and walked and walked. My first time around the hospital floor I did either 3 or 4 laps. The next time I added 1 or 2 more laps to those. Felt good to be up instead of laying in the bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better. 1 FLREDHEADMOM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
