I had the worst experience. Once I woke up I was pushed to walk, totally normal, but I physically couldn't. The pain was way to great. I actually spent the whole time in the hospital going back and forth between pain meds and anti nausea meds. I walked maybe three times and then of course to the bathroom. It turns out my pain pump was actually leaking and doing me no service whatsoever, so that's part of it, part of it was I reacted badly to a particular pain medicine. I was sick over 25 times during the night. That was Thursday-Friday evening. Once I got home I felt a little better but was pretty stationary. I really struggled. Then on Sunday evening I really picked up, I mean not so much I was normal but so much I was going upstairs and just feeling less general pain. Honestly though it was okay. I made it through. I also think I was an outlier, a major outlier. My doctor was really surprised by my pain, everyone sort of was. Any way you look at it though now I'm almost perfectly fine and I feel a bit better each day. So it was rough for a number of days but I'm over it and still pleased! Don't be scared!

I slept propped up in bed, kind of like you would with a bad cough. It was perfectly fine. I also slept on the couch one night because I was just in too much pain to fathom going upstairs (turns out my pump was leaking and not providing any relief) and that worked okay too. Same situation, kind of propped up. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
