Immediately after the surgery, the patient is in the postoperative care unit and is cared by the postoperative team. The pain levels are carefully attended to. If needed, IV pain medications are given to the patient to control the pain. Patients are started on sips of water with ice, then they progress to fluids and then to a light diet and then to a full diet. The patients occasionally feel that the pain on the second day is more than the first day because the injections given in the surgery have worn away. They may need additional medications during the second day for control of pain.
