I can keep liquid pain meds down but I have to sip it not take it like I normally would. I am however having trouble w my liquids. Everytime I drink something- broth, Water, crystal light- it makes my stomach cramp really bad. The first day on clears I only took in 10oz.

I'm in the hospital two days post-op. Overall I feel okay but i'm having difficulty keeping my liquid pain meds down. I've kept down juice' date=' Water, and a popsicle but I can't seem to handle the oral pain meds so I've vomited three times. I'm hoping to go home tomorrow but I don't know if that will be possible if I can't tolerate the pain meds :(

Going to bed for the night. I'm hoping for day 3 to be a turn-around day like everyone says. Fingers crossed![/quote']

Yea,

Hoping its a better day. Today. You can do it. For the team.

Day 3 post op...That train came thru again and hit me last night again! My 2 Great Danes know something is wrong, and because my husband worked overnight last night, they were with me on the bed, and couldn't understand that their heads were to heavy to rest and snuggle on my belly!! I'm having a hard time being compliant with my blood pressure med, just the thought of tasting it crushed, gags me. So glad my Dr. ok'd to stop taking my cholesterol ones!! Other than stomach, shoulders, neck and my whole lower back in pain when I move... I'm doing great! lol Sipping the recommended 48-64 oz's of liquids, and not needing the Pepcid AC. Everyone take care... And know you are not alone! Now to try and let the Danes in... Ugh... lol

Yes they did the single incision and I love it! All of the nurses were very impressed! Dr. Guske really is a genius!

How was your pain with the single incision? I'm going tomorrow for single incision at 1230! I'm freaking out about the pain. Did you bruise at all?

I had single incision as well and Ive had my gall bladder out and had multiple incisions so I know the difference and its big. My incision really didnt hurt. It was more the soreness in the actual tummy. No bruising, not even from the blood thinner shots that they warned me might bruise me.

I agree with bunny. I hardly had any incision pain, only pain on the inside. I stopped the pain meds on day 4 or 5, can't remember. I did get a few bruises from the shots but nothing serious.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
