Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I had LAP RNY done at 7:30am on Tuesday (3/30) and I arrived home at 2:00pm Wednesday (3/31). The only problem I had was the morophine. I had discussed this with my surgeon prior to surgery and we made the decision to go with demerol for pain control after surgery. Well, someone didn't listen or forgot and they had me on morophine. After a lot of itching and talking nonsense, my husband was VERY proactive and it was switched to dalaudid (sp.) by early afternoon after surgery. After that, I was up and walking! They started me on liquids Wed. morning and everything has been great! I just feel sore...like I did too many situps. Still taking it easy and taking frequent naps. Fluids are easy to get in and am only experiencing minor discomfort. I never dreamed this would go so well for me!! Tracee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
