Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks post op and while I have never had pain from surgery, a couple days after surgery I developed this severe pain in my neck..OK..maybe I slept on it wrong..about a week later it went away and moved into my arm..hurts so bad can't even move it.. went to Dr. I have multiple pinched nerves from surgical positioning..??? what??? Now yes this is not as extreme as leaks or blood clots..I get it..but I also can not take anything because my tummy is too new for NSAIDS right now and Tylenol doesn't do jack s#*t for me..so sorry..I just had to vent.. I am more stressed about going back to work..I am a hairstylist and my hands and arms are my money makers...anyone else have anything like this happen to them??? ***sigh***

sorry to hear about your nerve problems. I hope it works itself out soon.

Best non medication relief I can suggest is to go to a sports medicine practice that specializes in message after injuries or pinched nerves. I have a recurring pinched nerve in my neck that I have to "fix" with massage every 6 -12 months.

Yes, this is weird. I feel like my hamstring has been pulled. My neck is also killing me. It is all on the right side. I am also two weeks out. I ice the hell out of my leg and have taken all of my liquid pain medicine that I was given for surgery. I have blamed my featherbed and took it off of my bed. I am blaming my pillows. What you are saving makes more since.

      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.
