I finally got some and it works. Thanks!

I too feel like I am filled up with gas. My pain is going back and forth. I believe it is actually getting better, but I have had real bad pain at intervals without any rhyme or reason. It is very good to know I am not alone. Thanks

Hi Shyanne, I believe my pain is leveling off. You said something that really struck home. You mentioned why you needed RNY. For a second, I had forgotten how my diabetes was out of control. I have an insulin pump. I am on a very low dose now and my MD said I will eventually come off of all my diabetes medications. Thanks for sharing and giving me a wake up call:)

I had RNY surgery on March 26th. I remember the surgeon trying to talk to me in the recovery room. My first question was when am I going to have surgery. They told me that I had already had surgery and it went well. A few minutes later I was fully awake and there was no doubt in mind that I had just had major surgery. For a second, I questioned if I had done the right thing. I was given a morphine PCA pump. It helped, but I kept forgetting to push the button. The next morning they switched my pain med to Lortab elixir that actually worked better for me. I still can't believe that I was up walking day 1 of surgery. I know that it has been a big help to me. Most of my pain has been in my lower right quadrant. I found out that this is where all the tools (e.g. The stapler) had to go through the incision. The area where my JP drain was is still very tender. I am still having pale pink drainage. Each day the pain gets a little better. I am still having trouble getting in all my protein/ Fluid. I have been drinking Isopure. I am noticing that I need to take smaller sips and be steady with it. At this point, I have no hunger and no real desire to drink, but I am pushing myself. I feel like a big baby. I enjoy reading all the stories. I at least feel there are others going through the same things. Thanks for reading my entirely too long post:)
