Hi all, I got my procedure done yesterday. It went from about 1 PM to 4 PM. I left my recovery room to come to my Hospital Room around six. Dr’s team said that there were no complications and everything went over well but I am having the most chest pain and I knew it was coming, but I don’t feel this is something that you can brace for. I know it’s the gas that they pump into you and I’ve been desperately trying to get up and take a walk since I felt a little bit more sturdy last night after having anesthesia. The hospital that I’m at has told me not until today and kind of blamed it on being short staffed.
But I understand, but I would also rather walk to get a lot of this knocked out of me than being drugged every hour on the hour. Has anyone experienced this? How long did it take to get better once you did start walking? Also, any other pointers you have beach feel free to leave them. Thanks!
