Hello All;
I have a few questions about surgery day and the first 24-48 hours following surgery.
1. Did you have to do a bowel prep and, if so, what was it?
2. How soon after surgery did you start miralax/softeners? Did anyone take before going home?
3. How soon after surgery did you eat anything?
4. How did you clean up after initial BM's? I mean considering the swelling, incision . . . soap/no soap, soaks, hand-held shower head . . . be as specific as you dare, please.
5. How soon after surgery were you able to soak and how often/long? I've seen where some were told not to soak until next day, I guess to do with whether stitches, etc.?
Some random questions too . . .
6. Is this something I can do alone if I prepare (meal shopping, scripts, etc. beforehand) well?
7. What is the difference between "open" and "closed" LIS?
I think that's it for now.
