Had it done yesterday, just had my leak test, it's fine. I really want to go home because they won't let me sleep. I swear every two hours someone is in here. Driving me nutty.

I feel like I have lost five pounds in 24 hours, my lower belly feels a lot smaller. Of course there's nothing in it at all so that could be it!!!

WOW, cant wait to not sleep for that reason instead of not sleeping waiting for it..lol. Congrats to you!

What do they keep bothering you about? I hear they make you walk the floor 2-3x per hour.

Is the pain easily alleviated with the meds? what are they feeding you or is it just IV?

Congrats! I am almost 1 wk. I was in the hospital 2 days. They did not make me walk around. The nurses were so proud of me just sitting up and walking to the bathroom, I did not walk. My doc was very very mad, and made me stay. ha aha. THe hospital was LOUD. I was desk to the nurses station, talk talk talk, and next to the medicine cabinet (I guess) slam slam slam. So glad to be home.

I am two weeks out (as of yesterday) you should be home tomorrow, just enjoy the drugs today. Good Luck on your journey!

congrats!

Congrats! I know what you mean about not getting to sleep! I'm a nurse and I understand, but dang, it was every 1/2 hr. Happy recovery!

Last night they were in every hour taking vitals or giving me meds, they took blood at 4 am. I was like "seriously?" And then they took my blood sugar a few times.

Today I have seen the nurse, head nurse, the surgeon, the surgeon's nurse practitioner, the hospitalist, the dietician, the chaplain; the tech, house keeping and a volunteer. I also had a transport person and radiology come in to take me for my test.

I'm here for another night because I wasn't getting enough fluids in. I switched to warm fluids and it's much better now.

Hopefully they leave me alone for a few hours tonight.

They aren't making me walk around, they are just glad Im getting up to pee and I took a shower.

Loveit.... How are you doing today?

Hi, I have a head ache but I'm ok. Yesterday everytime I drank even an ounce it would gurgle and growl and I would burp. It's just going down now without so much trouble.

They let me sleep for quite a bit last night so that's great.

I just ordered my lovely Breakfast of optisource.

I really think these techs must be over worked and under paid, none of them seem happy at all.

I think I'm about to be discharged!!!

yeah.... I am only 1 wk out. Take is slow and steady. I am lucky to have a wonderful hubby, and I am using this as much as possible ha ha hah.

slow and steady....

My husband is wonderful, too!

I'm about to leave. Thank god!
