Anyone travel & had the surgery by themselves?

I've actually thought about this since yesterday, I wasn't on pain meds till after I got home. I walked in to the pharmacy & got my pain meds myself. The husband drove me home, I could have (of course the hospital says you have to have someone drive you home but it was an 80 year old volunteeer that saw me off--what was he going to do if I walked to the drivers side) I had no nausea, and although I was in pain starting that morning (I had to spend the night per my insurance company) and going until I got home & got that Vicodin in me, it wasn't so bad.

I don't know you from Adam but you can do this!

Good Luck dear

Update: NO NAUSEA. The anastesiologist was a wonderful lady and actually getting my wisdom teeth pulled was worse. I was nervous before but as you can see my surgery at 9:40 am today and now its 1pm. No gas pain no nausea. Just a little sore around the port area.

That's great news! Just don't overdo it - right now you probably are still are feeling some subconscious effects of the anesthesia that's making you feel good. I felt amazing on Day 1, it was as if I didn't have surgery at all but just did a million situps. Day 2 hit me like a ton of breaks. I mean overall it still wasn't bad, but compared to day 1 it was a big difference.
