After surgery you won't be able to drink anything and not anything the next day until after your leak test.

I don't know what determines this, but I never had any leak tests done. I was drinking fluids by morning and was brought 3 different trays of food in a 4/5 hour window just before discharge.

They're supposed to make sure your internal incisions and staples are not leaking before your drink. It's pretty standard.

I hope everyone has a great day and I hope to get this done smoothly and share my experience with the group and new members.

Been 24 hours since surgery pain is not bad at all for me. Able to get fluids in walked a bunch last night.

When I woke up from surgery it was the worse part. Had horrible breathing for couple hours. Now all good.

Oh, ya. The waking up from surgery was awful. I was in so much pain. Good to hear all is well

Question how long did pain last after surgery?

2nd part did you need to refill on pain medication or were you able to go without?

i was given pain meds at the hospital, and i had my Rx for pain filled at the hospital as well. but i didn't take any when i got home, as while i did feel a bit of discomfort, i felt it wasn't enough to warrant pain meds.

on the other hand, when i had plastics (which included tummy tuck) i was all over my pain meds, and even had them refilled after the inital Rx ran out after a week.

[Mike.J.Y 70]

Ouch I hear plastics is the real pain.

[cookiecutter 14]

I would say about a week and it was excruciating pain, mostly discomfort from the incision sites

[cookiecutter 14]

I mean it was NOT excruciating pain just discomfort

My pain from the surgery was minimal, I had neck pain and was told due to anesthesia. I did have a bit of nausea in the hospital that seemed to be exasperated by perfumed nurses, making me throw up hurting my stomach! I was home day after surgery and no pain just gas discomfort that OTC gas med helped. After a week all good! I had the gastric sleeve.

This made me chuckle, but I can totally understand that happening. They should know better. Perfumed nurses should be banned from all post-surgery rooms. 🤢

Congrats on a successful surgery!
