so I had my surgery yesterday ! but they kept me in the hospital and I'm not allowed to drink! I'm so thirsty!! pain is. ok except when getting out of bed then I feel lots of pressure!

Did they say why you have to stay and why you cant have nothing to drink

I hope you are home and feeling better soon.

I just had my surgery Tuesday and also stayed overnight and nothing but ice chips until wed morning after an X-ray to make sure all was working

Hang in there!

That is odd because my doc was encouraging me to drink that very day. They kept bringing me cups of water. I hear you about the getting out of bed though. Getting in and out was the hardest part for me.

Wow, I hope they still have an iv in you for liquids that way. Can they give you one of those sponge pops? I had those when I was in the hospital after my c-section. That way at least you could get the inside of your mouth wet.

I had to stay overnight b/c surgery was late in the day, but they gave me all the ice chips I wanted and few hours after surgery anything I wanted to drink.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and great success!
