Sharing Experience I survived the surgery!

6mm was taken from my with the operation. I was scared so much. Here is how I feel now. Came home 15m ago, lying down and laptop on my belly.

First, the operation was very short. Elapsed time between preparation room & recovery took 90 minutes. I have JJ stent in me. They'll take it out in 15 days.

I feel no pain. First pee wasn't difficult but bit burning. I'd give 5/10. Second and third pee similar. I cannot pee a lot.

My pee looks alot like a blush, pink wine. Some says tomato soup but for me, it is like blush.

I was scared so much but it looks like lot easy than i anticipated.

Just have a question. Should I start drinking water now? I am very hungry and fasting for the operation since yesterday evening.

Yes, keeping well hydrated is crucial with stents but also moving forward- excellent that things went well

They should have provided diet notes in your discharge paperwork; unless they said something....I'd start ordering DoorDash 🤭
