Hello everyone, I'm offically one of you a (Bandsters)
My Surgery time was Scheduled for 11:00am, I went in at 10:30 am and was out of surgery at 11:30 am. I was in recovery until 2:00pm and was released. I also had a Hernia my doctor told my family it was very big so Dr Cywes repaired it.
I'm taking 15ml of Hydrocodone-Apap solution Qua. Every 4-6 hrs last time I took it was at 10:00 pm last night. I also have a prescription for promethazine 25 mg Tablet. Its for nausea, but I'm feeling great.
As you no I was on the 2 day liquid diet before surgery, when they weigh me in yesterday I had lost another 5 pounds so My weight as of now is 222.00 pounds going into surgery. My doctor has me on the liquid diet for another 4 days. But so far no appetite.
My doctors office called me this morning to see how I'm doing. And so did the hospital where I had the procedure done.
I hope and pray that everyone else due to have surgery will be as smooth sailing as mine.
I'm now 5 days post-op and I'm feeling better each day the soreness is getting a little less. I started my full liquids on Monday with means I get to add the Atkins on to my clear liquids. My first Appt is march 5th. How is everyone else doing?
