Yep, the post op is much more dangerous than the operation. Your story sounds all too familiar - I entered the hospital at 137 pounds and left at 119 because of all the vomiting and the way they screwed up my NG tube and my suction. Same nonsense on swallowing and ignoring my problems. My urine was so orange and I was so dehyrdated that another day would have killed me.
Much empathy. My wife and son refused to bring me my billy club from home to thrash the nurses and residents so I ended up suffering like you. It sucks
