Was a long time ago for me, but I remember having the full moon face when I got home from the hospital. The other effects showed up later. I doubt you'll gain weight in the hospital, and the skin acne usually clears up first before getting worse. Remember with steroids the side effects take longer to go away the longer you've been on them, but they do go away. And when you get home, you'll be feeling much better and you'll probably be on a quick taper schedule anyways. Hope your feeling better soon!
