Thanks

How is your pain levels on this 3-4 days out from surgery? I know everyone is different with pain. I'm asking because I'm having mine done the 27th and on Halloween will have adults and 8 of my grandchildren over for trick or treating! My daughter is worried about it and getting me tired out. My neighborhood is the one they come too to trick or treat. One lives in country and other has houses to far also. We also feed them pizza before they go out. I love Halloween and don't want to cancel.

I had mine on 20th as well. Such a miserable experience...Severe nausea for a full day and night, bp is high as well. Will stay for 4th day in a hospital. Cant imagine drinking 64onces... I put in 6 oz in an hour, and still feel it in my chest... I hear that my experience is not common one, because if it were not many ppl would go down this route..

Feeling really blue... Have been cursing myself ever since i woke up after anesthesia...

#9granny I have no energy and I'm 33...and I'm really sore

Well today i didnt need any painkillers. So the pain is much bareable. Otherwise the only thing making me sick is the fluid diet im on. Its just so hard cuz im always hungry nd wanting to eat !

I cursed myself alot after anesthesia too. It was a horrible experience at the hospital. Stayed on morphine for 2 days. So take it easy

I had high bp prior to the surgery sarahkaj

I also had my surgery on Oct 20th. I am home and getting around pretty good. I am a little tender and sore when I get up and down, but other than that things are going well. Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

Good for you!

Thank you for good wishes - would be terrific to have join you and others whose recovery has been a breeze. Do you mind asking your age - im 40...i wonder if the age plays any role in recovery. Also,

I didnot have to do a preop diet. Not sure if that matters either.

Still feeling far from norm, but at least no more nausea as it used to be. It was painkillers - once the doc switched away from narcotics , i started to feel better.

I am 31. Glad you are doing a little better. I did a preop diet for 2 weeks of protein shakes and liquids. I think it made a difference. Also my surgery was done with a devinche(sp) robot. Not sure if that made a difference or not. Most of my soreness is where my Jp drain was.
