roziecakes 20 Posted June 30, 2011 I have an extremely high pain tolerance after having been in chronic back pain for years (which is a lot less now, by the way); actually the lapband was my trade off for back surgery. If I could lose enough weight to take pressure off my back then I won't have to get back surgery... I'm almost out of the woods at this point! Woot. Anyhoo... when I first woke up, my pain was a 5; and they gave me some toradol, which brought it down to a 2; and that's where it was. I have been completely out of pain for about a week and a half, and I'm 3 weeks post-op as of yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
