So scared

I'm on the 17th. I feel the SAME way!!! My dentist's assistant had it done last year. She said she was connected to a morphine pump and pushed the button literally every 20 minutes b/c she was scared of feeling any pain. Overall, she said, she did not feel anything and didn't even need her pain meds when she was discharged from the hospital. I'm praying I have the same outcome. I can deal with a little discomfort but I in no way shape or form want to be in severe pain. OMG. I'm so nervous about that. I expressed this concern to my doctor and he thought I was being dramatic. lol. But he assured me I wouldn't be in pain just a little discomfort. We'll see...!

I felt pain the most on the day of surgery and 2 days later when I got home. Most of it is from gas which is why they insist on the walking.. Once I passed the gas. I Found that the pain is tolerable. I have not had any pain meds since I left the hospital. Keep in mind that everyone is different and may feel differently. This is just my experience

It was kinda weird, but most ( if not all) of the pain was from the gas! Yeah I was "sore" from the surgery, but no pain. The gas on the other hand....what a pain in the butt! I'm two weeks out and getting better everyday.

I was sleeved on June 29th - weEk ago today. No pain now, just numbness around the laproscopy sights. I would give anything for a glass of water!! LOL Get sugar free popsicles...they will save you! I swear! Good luck. Now to figure out how to post my own stuff. HA

First off there is no need to be scared you'll be in the hospital and they are trained to deal with people in pain and will take all necessary steps to make sure you are comfortable.

Second, I 100% agree with the others! Gas pain was uncomfortable but treated well in the hospital and once I got up and walked it went away quickly. No real pain from the incisions just sore as mentioned before.

You'll be in the best hands if you're in pain after the procedure so just ask for what makes you comfortable and they'll accomidate you. And get SF Popsicles they are great if you can tolerate the cold!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
