Pist-Op

It seems sereal posting on the post-op thread. I had my surgery at 9am this morning and I am doing ok. I had a hieanal hernia I wasn't aware of that he repaired as well. I had no nausea at all, I have to thank the anesthesiaolgist for the "cocktail" he gave me for that. My belly is real sore and some back and shoulder pain but I have been doing a lot of walking. I have had broth and Water only. My dr. Gave me tablet form Vicodin and my husband has been breaking them up in pieces for me to take I'm to scared to try and swallow one whole. Has anybody else taken them whole just curious? Just want to let everybody on here that has supported me along the way thank you and your info gave me the strength to go through with this.

WTG. U did it!!! I'm 13 days post op. and it was a rough go for me. The 1st week was hard. But it went fast!! I had all liquid meds when I came home from surgery. Had my post op appt with surgeon today and he said I'm cleared for real food, and excercise. yay!! I incidentally asked about pills, cause I take anxiety meds and wanted to know about tylonal for headaches. And they said its fine. Not sure how big the Vicoden is. I'd personally call your surgeons office and find out:) good luck on your new journey!!!
