Had my surgery Monday still in hospital. This is the worst pain I have ever had. I've given birth 4 times my son was 10lbs10oz and that was nothing compared to this

I'm sorry to hear this. I found this much easier then 3- c sections. Everyone is different when it comes to pain and surgery.

Feel better soon

Violet, I am also 6 days out!! Yay!! I'm glad your pain is good. Mine however is bad. It's just one area where my JP drain is located. It is much better than in was 6 days ago but I still need pain meds to function normally.

Violet,

I should have said was. They pulled mine before I left the hospital on Sat. I'm very happy to hear your pain level is good. I'm looking forward to that day:) As long as I have pain meds I'm good. Lol! Other than that area the rest of my body is pain free. Maybe I was extra sensitive to the drain:( People keep suggesting gas pain. I get gas pains occasionally, too. The 2 pains are definitely different.

I went in surgery last friday, saturday at noon I left the hospital in Belgium, booked myself into a hotel for one night, drove 1100km up to Danmark sunday morning. My pain is almost gone, only 5 days after. So its very different for each person, but I do not regret anything :) but its gets better really fast, so just hang un there for a couple of days.

I never had a baby - but did have a 3rd degree burn. The actual burn pain was worst but it was in a localize area, this surgery make your entire inside hurts and puts you out for days and week. I didn't realize how your stomach controls your turning, coughing, sneezing, breathing, laughing etc. I'm on day 8 or 9 and the pain amount has gone down, but when it comes it's horrible!!

      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.
