had pretesting today and the nurse told me I would have a non narcotic pain pump that would send a small steady flow of pain meds Inserted in me, and then after 5 days I could just "pull it out" say whaaaatt? Lol.

Anyone else had a "pain pump" inserted?

I had one after my DaVinci hyst, but it was in my spine. I think I would've loved having a pain pump for my band. My post-op pain medication was not sufficient for my needs.

Non-narcotic? What's the point? lol

I've never heard of that for a lapband. All they gave me was the liquid lortab, but the pain wasn't that bad so I stopped taking it after the 1st three days.

you were lucky to get liquid lortab. I got given darvocet which was totally inadequate.

I had a morphine pump in the hospital, but honestly I used it maybe 4 times right before I had to get up and walk or go to the bathroom. I was given liquid hydrocodone and honestly that stuff made me so loopy if I was in pain while I was on it I don't really remember. I preferred the Water filled heating pad they gave me...wanted to take it home with me.

I got the pump!!! Loved it, I was able to go out the night I got discharged and the next two nights. I didn't need anyother pain meds except for the GAS X :D The pull out is easy.

I had one for my rotator cuff surgery. Pulling it out was very easy. It was just a tiny tube. Less than half the diameter of a phone charger cord.

I had one too. Loved it. I didn't need extra pain meds till after I removed it. It was easy to remove-didn't feel a thing but it totally grossed my husband and daughter out :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
