Not nauseous ( due to Emend )

Walked, chatted with nurses and doctor.

Check out 1345 ( 145p )

Been home almost 7 hours. Slight pain where drain is - have been walking dogs and made dinner for my family !!!

Nurse had this surgery and we compared notes about Emend ! We both went home the same day as surgery. I'm not a sales rep for Emend - however, I hate the nauseous feeling and this is the best !!!

So happy for me and for everyone on this journey ... thank you guys and gals support !!!

Congratulations on your surgery! I'm glad you found something to help!

Congratulations on being "over and done". I hope you heal well and fast. Surgery is so much easier without the nausea. Nice you got in and out and safely home so fast. Now drink, drink and walk!

Since we can only sip - seems it takes forever to finish a glass of water ???? but I finish and I have 2.5 dogs so I'm definitely walking. Slight pain this morning but no nausea and I have 5 scripts for nausea. So happy. No I can catch up on everyone else's stories !!! Thanks guy

Wow! Checked out of the hospital 7 1/2 hours after sleeve surgery and went home. Is this common?

Truth. Staying over was never a plan. I'm a cash patient and the surgical center where it was done ( on the grounds of a hospital ) doesn't have sleep overs. Dr Cottam has been doing the surgeries at this location for 12 years. As long as the Emend is taken prior to surgery and a good anesthesiologist is good - yes. I walk my dogs a mile every other hour. I take 1/2 pain med every 3-4 hours but I'm good. I have a drain bag attached I empty out - but overall I feel great !!!

Congrats! Glad everything went so well and you're already home recuperating!

Congratulations!

It's amazing there are so many different 'procedures' for the same 'procedure' some don't have a 2 week diet some go home same day, I'm surprised there isn't more regulations on the surgeries.

I asked several doctors about this actually

I was on a pre op clear liquids for 1 week. He said its asked on your percentage. Higher % longer liquid diet Going home also depends on the anesthesiast ( spelling ). He spoke w me for 30 minutes before surgery explaining everyone and getting to know everything about me. They have lots of before surgery nausea pills - and when I had a lumpectomy 3 years earlier I got really sick - so he gave me a different dose of things during surgery. There were 9 people in the operating room 5 were from the anesthesiast office. I was groggy but not sick. I haven't needed any of the pills except for 2 pain pills so far
