means you very swollen inside and you are not sipping slowly (to drink too much or too fast) so soon after surgery, will cause pain..so dont do it....baby sips all day long..if it continues to hurt, call your doctor's office and let them know.

You may be having some pain from the gas that is used during the operation. Try to move around and walk it out. Drink slowly, baby sips use a medicine cup to measure out the sips you are taking to force yourself to drink more slowly.

Warm liquids like Decaf tea are also very helpful in the beginning as well as frozen ice pops which. They help get the fluids in as well as help the internal swelling feel a bit better.

Feel better!

They gave you pain meds' date=' right? I needed the meds for the first four days.[/quote']

Me too Guy, they gave me injections for pain in the hospital and a prescription for pain when I was discharged. In fact they had a concierge from Walgreens who had my prescription filled before I was even discharged. This way I'd have no excuse to not have pain medicine by the time I got home. I was very blessed to have a surgeon who was concerned enough that I not be in a lot of pain.

      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.
