WHAT TO EXPECT PAIN WISE AFTER SURGERY?PLZ INFORM ME..



Recommended Posts

I had pain all over my abdomen and nausea immediately upon waking. The gave me anti nausea and morphine but I was still nauseous' date=' so they switched to dilaudid. After that no pain and no nausea. I was on a pain pump where I could push the button for more medication ever so otter and I just would push it when ever. I never really felt pain just in general but I would if I tried using my stomach muscles to get out of bed or go to the bathroom. I just had to be careful. I never had any gas pain. I was lucky. :)

I was one of the lucky ones with the pain and gas. It was more of a discomfort than pain for me. Walking as everyone has said is essential. It makes a huge difference.

I had 3 c- sections and learned about the walking back then. I had no problems with them and could say the discomfort was about the same. I think the c-sections were a tad harder. I just had rotator cuff surgery and that was worse than any of it.

Good luck, I hope you have an easy recovery!

Everyone is different when it comes to pain. You may have a low threshold and see white spots when you get shots, or you may be able to brave thru a bad cut easily, just depends on where you're set at. For me, very mild gas pain solved by gas x strips and walking quite easily. I dry heaved in the hospital maybe 5 times, nausea meda stopped this. It caused slight pain. There was one day where my pain crippled me. It was later thought to be gas pain or from the surgical mesh attached to my abdomen wall as it subsided after a while. Afterwards only minor pain in that area for a few days, right now zero pain.

Good luck and beat wishes. The pain meds they give you work. If you cannot take them due to allergies or nausea, ask for a different brand. There are plenty to chose from and no way should you have to suffer. Pain meds make everything alright.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
