Home from hospitalI has surgery on monday 4-17 at 10 am, i don't recall much of monday except that i did hurt some where the tummy was transected, and i was drugged most of the day...at 6 pm i got up to go potty and that is when they started giving me the liquid loratab. I got up one other time to walk monday night. They were concerned because my heart rate was fast but by tuesday it had dropped into the 90's. Tuesday doc came to visit me in the morning and asked how i was doing, told him i was feeling okay just a little pain in the tummy area still, he told me they were going to treat me as if i was at home and see how i did. When he came to visit at 5 pm he asked if i wanted to go home, i said that would be nice but i had to wait for my ride at 7:30...which was no problem for him. I see him again in 2 weeks for my follow up.
Last night i went to bed around 10:00 pm and slept until 5 am, so i went for 10 hours between pain meds. Right now i'm feeling okay and i'm not going to take the loratab.
My starting weight at my inital consult was 265 day of surgery was 253. we'll see how well i do losing the weight.
