Surgery Recovery Sucks!



Recommended Posts

sorry to hear you had so much pain. I had none at all so it's so different for everybody. If you can walk around a lot, that should get rid of the shoulder pain. People get shoulder pain from the gas they use during surgery.

I just had surgery on Monday and had none of those symptoms you are having the hospital was very attentive in giving pain medication and it working well. Where did you go for your surgery?

I had my surgery in Vegas. They were very attentive as well. I think it was just me - I don't do well with pain. And, my body wanted to let me know that I had done something MAJOR! :sad0:

I liken this whole experience to pregnancy and child birth. Everyone's experience is a little different. Some people have very little pain and nausea, others have a bunch of either or both. Like child birth, I think once it is over and we are so happy with the results, we tend to forget the hard parts and focus on the wonderful. Just my two cents.

Thank you so much for posting this. I too liken it to childbirth and I had natural childbirth and NO pain whatsoever. I told that to a friend who wound up being in labor for 2 days and eventually had a cesarean...I vowed to never share MY experience again.

THANKS AGAIN. I'm getting more anxious to find out how I will feel and GEESH just can't wait to get it over with already.

Be strong, be patient and you will get through...God love and bless you Mini...

Thanks, I am doing MUCH better. Even went to a movie last night with my husband and friends. (Extraordinary Measures - VERY GOOD)

Today I am feeling a little weak and shaky. Not sure why. Felt great yesterday, but maybe I overdid it. Taking it slow and easy today.

I feel much better too! Every day gets easier. I ventured to the grocery store today and that took it all out of me. Time for a nap! Nice to know I still have several days off work to rest up.

      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.
