Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I got back yesterday from hernia/panni/tubal ligation. What an experience. I did not go in to surgery until 2pm on Tues and was in my room by 4:30. The nurses were not supposed to get me up for 24 hrs which is unusual for surgery and I got up that night. I bled like a stuck pig, just dripping. My hgb went from 12.1 to 7.1 so I got 3 units of blood on Wed. Hgb to 10.6 after the units. Today my hgb is 9.8. Still oozing but not too bad. Putting out around 50-75 cc blood daily in drains. I was then in bed from around 8pm Tues night until Thurs a.m. with my head of bed at a 30 degree angle the whole time. As far as the pain, I only hurt in the rt ovarian area for about 4 hours after surgery. Then the incisional pain was more just burning. I had a morphine PCA which I did not use much except first few hours and am on darvocet now. The binder is a pain in the butt cause it keeps riding up or rolling and he wants it snug and low. Going to check into spandex or lycra bike shorts and sport bra before drains and staples come out on Wednesday. I keep oozing blood and getting tired of changing binders, clothes and laundry. How long does that last? Vicki VBG 6-97 364/212 RNY 6-29-01 295/191 hernia/panni 11-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
