Dec 24, 2009

I had surgery at 930 am on Tuesday, December 22. Every thing went great! The only pain I experienced was my back. I never lie on my back, so I guess being on it for 50 minutes wasn't the best. I only requested pain medication 3 times; due to my back pain. My belly felt great.  I got up to my room around 1 pm and was walking the halls by 2 pm.  No problems with nausea  (pre-op a scopolamine patch was placed behind by ear).  In order for me to be released early;  I needed to  take oral pain pills. I wasn't having any pain since 3 am, but rules are rules. I took a pill & was discharged at 5 pm on Wednesday December 23. I was sent home with Darvocet & Protnix.

No matter how much I thought I was prepared; I have constantly remind myself to take small sips.  I thank everyone on VSG forum for sharing. All the information shared was invaluable.
