Post op question
I see ur surgeon is Dr Hagen I also had Dr Hagen he discharge his patients early the next day. When he comes to see u in the morning he will tell u that u are good to go home. Few hrs later Dr Glazer came in and sign off. I could of went home early afternoon but I was having bad allergy reaction Dr Glazer gave me something for it that knock me out so I went home around 8pm.

I'm just over 3 weeks post op. I haven't totally healed yet. I have two incisions that are always opening - I would thank life with a toddler and a preschooler for that. My surgery was at 3pm, I was up walking by 4am (probably a tad earlier than that). Pain stayed for 3 days - I was off my pain medication the day after I got out (but I champed through a few painful nights on my friend's pull out couch).
I didn't weigh myself until a week post-op and I was down 10lbs. Week 2 I lost 1lb. Week 3 6.5lbs. I'm not sure what this week will bring!
I'm heading back to work this Wednesday - and in a
ll honesty my job isn't very physical, so I could have gone back at about 9 days... I had pretty bad insomnia from 5-8 days post op, but as soon as that passed I was fine. I haven't napped since 3 days post op... And I'm home all day alone. I wish I could nap!
6 weeks (3 post op, 3 of opti) I'm down 41lbs.
