I have the same with my dad. I didn't tell him yet. He is going to say that i "just" need to eat healthy and exercise. As if i never tried that ???? So yeah. All in good time???? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

That is what i keep hearing that it varies from person to person. So i really don't know what to expect. I know im going to have pain but i dont know the level of it. That is the unknown what is kinda scary. But do they put immidiatly pain meds in the IV or do you need to tell them to?? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App Most docs will order both an IV pain med and a tablet pain med. The tablet pain med is usually hydrocodone, but there are other options if you don't like it or are allergic. As a nurse, I tell my patients to let me know as soon as the pain starts ramping up, because it's easier to control if you don't let it get out of hand. If it's significant pain, I usually give the IV med because it works faster and tends to be stronger, but doesn't last as long. Then after a little while I give the oral med, because it will last longer. Most docs and nurses like to transition to the oral meds as soon as possible and only use the IV meds for break-through or really bad pain. They can't really send you home until your pain is controlled by meds they can send with you. The goal is also to use the least amount of meds needed to control the pain. So it's likely you'll need to communicate with your nurse where your pain level is, and you will work together to keep it under control. I have rarely had patients who could not get their pain under control, and they invariably had serious chronic medical conditions that were contributing as well as a tolerance to pain meds. If you're in good health generally and don't take a lot of pain meds, it's to be expected that they will keep your pain to a minimum. Thank you so much for your experience and telling me the way they handle the situationIt really puts things in perspective for me. I just need to trust the nurses that they will take good care of me Wich they hopefully will do ofcourse. I wish you the best of luck in your journey Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

Stay strong. This is about you and not them. Don't let people talk you down. She doesn't know your everyday struggle with being obese. And the hurdles you go through every day. People are entitled to mind their own business! It's strange how she could go behind your back and being so judgemental. Im sorry i see that as jealousy and not 'concern'. Obviously she would wanted you to stay fat so she could be the skinny on. Now you are on board and she feels threatend by you. Go get it girl. And don't let anybody decide what's best for you. Hope you are well. Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

What is your struggle? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. This seems so easy peasy. Maybe im just reading to much negative stuff and freaking myself out. I tend to have a mediocre tolerance for pain. So I really don't know what to expect. So i just hope for the best. But your story and of others really helps me be more at ease. Im so done with being fat. My whole life struggling against it. I rather have a month or so pain than the emotional pain for being fat the rest of my life. Thanks again Really helped me Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

Did you have pain meds before in your life? Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App Yes, there are other pain meds that work well for me. If my pain had been significant, I'd have asked the nurses to call the doc and change the prescription. People tend to have some type of tolerance if they had pain meds before. So i guess the amount they gave you was little. You needed more. This is what i read on other forums. Im glad you are out of pain. Thank you so much for your reply Sent from my SM-G928F using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for your reply. This makes me less worried. Yes i never had surgery whatsoever. Never had kids. No nothing. So this is my first time ever going in cold turkey. But as you put it seems less painfull that people make it out to be. The most i've heard was gass pain. And other complications like lekkage. But this odly doesn't scare. The anesthesia is the part that makes me afraid. Waking up from it and how desoriented i may be. Yes i heard the incision doesn't hurt that much like its the pain of crunches. Yes. The liquid diet and proteine tend to not bother me that much I mean my biggest enemy is the food. And yes maybe i talk to simple. But not eating for a while seems like heaven because it stresses me so much out. Thanks again for your reply. I am really proud of you that you went through it like you did.
