I am having my surgery next Monday and I am really afraid of all the pain myself. I keep telling myself I will only have pain for a little while and then it will get better. We really are making big changes and this surgery is all about cutting and reconnecting so there is lots of trauma to our stomach's. Are you taking any pain meds? I really hope you feel better soon. One day at a time as they say. Good luck.

Here is how I view it. I have experienced a frivolous lawsuit and the pain of bariatric surgery. The pain of bariatric surgery, while real, was for me much less than the stress and pain of the lawsuit. Yes, it hurts. But in a few weeks it really will get better.

Wishing you the greatest of success!

Yes it did hurt and I had open surgery so I had a huge cut from under my breastbone to almost my bellybutton. Took almost a month to recover.

Wow if u don't mind answering why did they have to do an open?? I thought that is very rare that they have to do these surgeries like that anymore?

I could never get a definitive answer from my surgeon. At the seminar I specifically asked if he did the surg laparascopically and he said yes. I didn't know it was open until the nurse removed my drain and exclaimed "your surgery was open?" I was shocked, horrified and upset. And to too it off, I was discharged 30 hrs after surgery. I was told he always does RNYs openly and I had a hernia as well. I've seen other ppl on the forum with hernias have the surg done laparascopically so I'm still confused. If you click on my name and the forum started by me entitled "surg in the morn" I think that's the name, I have a pic of my incision.

Too funny!!

I had surgery 2/28/13 and was petrified it was going to be excruciating, it was not. I have a brilliant surgeon and program that is taking wonderful care of me. Do your research and choose the best! It really makes a world of difference, I feel fantastic and am eating soft Proteins, drinking Protein Shakes and plenty of crystal light. Everything has been way beyond my expectations!

I was told they'd only do it open if you have had pervious abdominal surgeries that would make it necessary for them to have more access.

Question?

So if a person had a c-section the sergeant has to cut you in the same spot again?

Not at all, none of my other surgeries are anywhere near my c-section scar.
