Hi Katy,

My non-RSS child just had this surgery in December and it went

fairly well. Her surgery was scheduled at 8:30am and she was home by

11am! The big issue for her was that she was not able to tolerate

the codeine in the pain meds. It made her vomit for 3 days and we

were concerned about dehydration. When we finally got the codeine

out of her system the vomited subsided. She did okay with plain

tylenol for pain at this point. She survived on popsicles and ice

cream for about 3-4 days and then slowly added in scrambled eggs and

other soft foods. She was back to normal about 7 days later. She can

email me at jebarker @ easystreet.com if she has specific questions.
