  1. Yes, what you described is exactly how I felt after waking up from surgery, the minute I said nausea, the nurses was pushing iv reglan,Pepcid and zofran, , and 2 mg of dilaudid, good drug, stayed 2 days in hospital then felt like a million bucks
  2. My surgeon said most certainly it was ok to have a beer or hard liquor, he however wants you to wait six months out before drinking. The registered Dietitian wants a limit of 4 a months ????
  3. I'm really glad I had mine done dec 1, in still sore but getting better everyday
  4. I'm on day 6 I'm still very sore nausea gone and they sent me home with zofran, scop patch , big bottle of lortab , Flexeril, life is good ????
  5. Mine was put in after I was out and removed before leaving surgery easy no problem at all, not even the breathing was no big deal , just very sore after surgery , I'm six days out
  6. Yup me too, lol and of course us men don't handle pain well so it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be ???? it is a full time job getting protein and water in
  7. Yup the pain is more incisional pain on movement but not bad at all
  8. Feeling better, nausea has gone, now thinking about getting in the shower might take some lortab before attempting it
  9. Yup, came home last night late where I live we had lots of flooding , took me a little longer to get home, up early trying to get my water and protein in
  10. I'm home tonight, doing well, stayed the two days due to a little nausea but other then that doing great.
  11. Yup had mine Monday now waiting to be discharged today (wed)
  12. Mine is 10 days but hasn't been bad
  13. The liquid fast is going well. But I think is men have less of a problem complying with liquid diets. But we must certainly don't handle pain as well as the women do ????
  14. I also grew up in Anderson , ????
  15. Yup, I'm Dec 1st started 10 day liquid fast not to bad yet
  16. I'm getting nervous , you know men do not handle pain well, I just hope we get really good drugs
  17. Depends on your insurance, mine was less than a month to get approved
  18. Mine is Dec 1st can't wait to be done, hopefully ready for the lake by June
  19. Nope not yet, I'm scheduled for December 1st, can't wait until it's done
  20. I have my surgery Dec 1st. The days are counting fast, I hope I can be back to work two weeks afterwards
  21. Lets just hope the surgery goes well for all of us with out complications. Hope Ludwig does a great job and back to work in 2 weeks after.
  22. Ca blue cross, I have mild hypertension it took me less than a month after tests , the longest wait is waiting for surgical date ????
  23. Hey what's up with the six month weight loss , I thought insurance got rid of that requirement? Mine was easy and I'm 37 bmi
  24. Yup, surgery scares the fire out of me but know this is needed ????
