hello

I am having pph surgery on friday.
they say my condition makes me a perfect candidate.
the medical profession though, never prepares you for the aftermath of surgery.

I am aware of difficulty urinating and all of the other basic post op effects.

What I have not heard about yet, and will ask on surgery day, is .....

what diet is required post op and for how long?

Can we drive? if so when?

they said i have the option to be admitted for a day and i think i am going to take it.

can't imagine having to sit around for a while being force fed water until I can urinate, only to have them put in a foley and send me home.

i was told an overnite foley is usually sufficient to get the bladder voiding.

still so many questions and so little time.
