Okay - so I posted recently that I was having UPPP + deviated septum repair. This generated a few questions, etc.
It has now been two weeks since I had the surgery. The entire post-op report can be found at my personal blog (hope it's okay to link that) which starts at
Sleep Apnea: The back story. Yes, I'm too lazy to type it all in again.
Things to note:
1.) Vidodin is addictive. I went through withdrawal coming off of it and I was only on for 10 days. OUCH! Shakes, chills, insomnia, upset stomach.
2.) I can no longer make a fake "snore" noise when I try. It's really nearly impossible.
3.) The pain from this surgery is unbelieveable. I had two hernia surgeries. Add those two together and you don't get NEAR the pain I had from this. I stayed two nights in the hospital from this - I never had to do that for anything else I ever had done.
4.) I lost 14 pounds in 11 days. No solid food at all - I was too sore. I had some ice cream/yogurt.
