Most sorness is the gas. try gas-x chewables and make sure to walk as much as possible.

Depends on where your soreness is. Personally mine was gas pain (shoulder/neck area), and incision site soreness. The incision soreness will go away with time (you can take whatever medicine your doc gave you or allows to help). The gas pain can stick around a while. The best thing BY FAR is walking. Walk as much as you can, this will help tremendously. It took me 6 days to stop having gas pain. Some people it's faster, some it's slower. It's hard to say, everyone's different. Good luck!! I hope everything goes well!

My soreness is incision related I need to be able to bend this part is driving me crazy. They gave me no meds because I did so well and was hardly in any pain. The nurse said take extra strength Tylenol as needed

I'm sorry to hear they didn't give you anything stronger for pain meds. That seems kind of unusual, at first you are going to do well because of the meds they gave you in surgery hangs around for quite awhile.

I personally felt a little better after putting some ice on my belly. Incisional pain will take a few days to get better. If tylenol is working for you, keep pestering the office! Hang in there!

Thank you I'm going to try that. It feels likes a whole bunch of little needles sticking me all at once. They did give me dry ice packs

      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.
