I know that it was given to me for the surgery and they kept me on it with an IV drip.
I just asked what I was on the morning after the surgery, and they told me. I just said can you please stop it, and they looked a little shocked and asked why. I just said I felt a little dizzy when they had me stand up to walk. They called the Dr. and he said ok.
Within an hour I felt less dizzy /foggy and started walking the halls doing a loop every hour.
All my nurses were smiling and said you just go as much as you want.
I was in no pain and wanted to do as much as possible not to stay in there! I can tell you I wish I had some padding on because I had to get back to the room fast because of the draining. ARGH
I would bring at least 2 robes to wear. I messed up mine. It is amazing the amount of stuff and blood that will come out. TMI, I know. But, better to know and not be afraid.
The only supplements I took and still take are my normal vitamins.
I can say another positive from the surgery is the headaches I have always had have almost disappeared! So, that eliminated the aspirin and Advil that I used to take. Very rare and that is a blessing!
