2 Days Post Op

[Wgbem 138]

What should I be expecting? I feel weak? I hope I did not write this twice as all I can do is sleep. Is something wrong? Or is this normal.

if you are on pain meds, then you probably will just be tired. my dr told me to get up every 2 hours or so and walk. so my sister made sure that i did. what are you feeling? are you drinking anything? i spent most of my time either laying on the couch propped up with pillows or in a chair with a pillow in front of me. plus walking to help get that gas out of there.

I am 6 days post op and I slept for 4 days

I had more pain than I expected like burning hot knives in my left side

And bad gas

Couldn't drink without pain

Dr took 2 cc out of the band yesterday and I feel better today

Try to get off the pain meds if you can, get some stool softener in you (seriously), walk around and get those liquids in. 2 days post op, you are still full of the drugs and anesthetic from the surgery, do what you can, but keep moving.

My doctor placed a Fentanyl patch for pain which stays on for 3 days. I gave pain medication but have not had to take it. I get up to go yo the bathroom but that is about all the strength I have. Trying to drink a little every hour but don't wAnt to drink too much and get nauseous. Perhaps because I also had a hernia repair is why I feel so bad.

Why did they place you on a pain patch. Do you have chronic pain?

We are twins!!! How many cc's did he start you off with?

[georgeileen 23]

I didn't ask how many cc's I have

Gish I had asked

I go back next week and I'll ask

He really didn't want to remove any

Glad my hubby was there and spoke up !

I am not sure why he did that but for me it was such a great move. I wasn't thinking about anything and prior to all this I was taking ibuprofen for bilateral knee pain. Having that coupled with abdominal pain would have been a mess. From that front I feel great.

I thought we didn't have Fluid in the bands yet? Im still new too but thought they added fluid later

[Wgbem 138]

I thought so too

Some doctors add Fluid, others don't. I had 4ml put in my band on day of surgery and because of that and small fills every two weeks from three weeks post op I've hit the green zone in just under three months. Yay!
