I'm day 1 post op & already down 12 lbs. The didn't put a foley.in at all thank God. Having quite a bit of trouble managing pain. I have the hiccups which are agonizing. I am on clear fluids. I was full after 1/2 a Jello cup. It wasn't even a normal size one. I've been up walking, 6 laps so far. I should get to go home tomorrow.

Wow congrats!

Yeah the farting thing is tough, it took me three days. And a BM took a week with the help of milk of mag.

But I agree with the girls. Haha you will be on thin sexy version of Kevin James. Haha

Good luck! & I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Hey! Congrats! I just had mine on Tuesday. I still haven't passed gas or had a BM. I been burping and hiccuping though. Hiccups hurt! But it relieves a lot of the gas stuck in my abdomen. The only pain I really had was the gas.

I had mine Tuesday as well.

For those who have had the surgery recently...is the pain tolerable? My sister had her surgery yesterday afternoon and says the pain is horrible and she can't tolerate morphine because she throws up...shes so scared she has a leak because she threwup hrs after surgery but I hope not. She said pain is so bad! I guess it's different for everyone. She had a hernia repaired too. She also had vertical sleeve, not bypass. Hmmmm.

Pain itself can cause vomiting but there are alternatives to morphine. A more likely cause of the vomiting would be the anasthesia. If they haven't done it already, they almost certainly will be doing what is commonly called a "leak test" which should alleviate her fears regarding a leak. The test is normally done the day following surgery. Give her our best and assure her that the pain passes relatively quickly and she's gonna love the new her!!

Thank you so so much! She's been given an alternative to the morphine called tramadol and shes 100x better and up and walking. She also just finished her swallow test and all is ok! Thank you!!

You're certainly welcome and so glad to hear she's doing better!!
