Will I need pain medicine after I am discharged?

No. It is normal to have mild cramps and bloating over the next 24 hours, but pain medication should not be needed after your procedure.

How soon can I eat after the procedure?

March 21, 2024 by Vermont Gastroenterology

You may eat at any time after your procedure. You may want to start with a light meal after leaving the surgery center. If that goes well, then you can go back to your regular diet.
