Well I did it. Had band revision to sleeve on tues. was given zero pain meds to leave with. Ortiz sed he had to fix hiatal hernia I had b4 he cud proceed. I have been in excruciating pain ever since. Plus. The nurses spoke zero English n I woke up in the nite one nite hurting n scared and found the nurse in a bed in one of the empty rooms. This seems shady to me Went back in crying n asked for pain meds. Got an anti inflammatory pill. One!!!

Where was your surgery performed?

The AMA standards are quite different than those abroad and sometimes things like this happen because of it. To be discharged without pain medication is completely inappropriate. If you live in the US I would recommend seeing your primary for pain Meds or going to the ER. You definitely need them. I know I was in so much pain I took them regularly for an entire week and I won't even take an aspirin.

Best of luck.

      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.
