Had Surgery on Monday

Left hospital on Tuesday with no pain but I think I over did it walking too much and was in bed the rest of the day. Hope it gets better. How long does pain last?

i walked around five or miles a day i traveled with mine and the walking did my body a world of good. i had no pain after the first day.

I started with like 10 minutes a few times a day and then worked up slowly to an hour. Walking is a great healer but don't push yourself...baby steps. Make sure you get your protein and vitamins daily.

Hi Dennis, my surgery was Thursday & I was released Saturday. Out of curiosity, do you still have a drain pouch? Where is your pain?

Hey just seeing this sorry for not responding sooner. I didn't have a drain pouch. I had a little pain the day I came out but I think I just over did it walking.
