Hi 2nd timer - it was standard practice for us to spend the first night in HDU. 2 patients to one nurse so they can keep a closer eye on you. (BMI Healthcare).

2nd timer - I'm not scheduled to go to HDU for mine on Friday, just to recovery and then back to a ward bed. But then again I've got no health issues and am 22 so slightly lower risk

 

[2nd timer]

Mines already booked I've git other probs so I have no choice :/

Crucon, just wanted to stop by and wish you all the very best for tomorrow. Remember to walk around as much as you can as soon as you can and let us know how your getting on when you feel up to it.

And to all other Feb oppers, good luck with the next stage of your journeys and speedy recovery.

How long did it take you to recover?
I'm due in tomorrow morning and feeling absolutely petrified
I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old. Hope I can manage ok afterwards.

 

[slimpip]

What are you having done laurawls? I'm 5 days out and had 3 rough days in hospital (but hey, 3 days is nothing in comparison to the rest of your life) and now i'm home and feeling hunky dory. One lady in my hospital bay went home the day after her bypass and when she came round from the anasthesia she felt absolutely fine, very little pain and ate a bowl of soup and some ice cream, I was gobsmacked but everybody is different so just concentrate on yourself and make sure you go in with a "Can-Do" attitude. Good luck, XX

 

[laurawls]

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm going for gastric band. I'm looking forward to having my tool but just so anxious about pain afterwards xx
