heard from the surgeon today. I can't believe that they gave you a prescription for Dilaudid for home. They will NOT give it here. It is the only thing that I can take for pain that does not knock me out or make me a vegetable, but no, it's hydrocodone or nothing. I chose nothing, and the doctor couldn't believe it. He told me I would be calling him, but I never did. I can't do being knocked out all the time. I did biofeedback. It wasn't perfect, but neither were the other options. I would predict that you will be in the mid to low 220s when you get off all the meds, if not less. They make you not want to eat. Without the wound, the pain or lugging around the wound vac you are going to feel so light and be able to do so much.
