I didn't seem to be in as much pain as everyone. My period was coming on the day I was discharged so the few days before I had more menstrual cramps more than anything.

Keep popping those pain killers and stick to program and everyday will be better then before.

I'm 9 days out and just now starting to get back to normal. Like you, I was in a lot of pain at first- didn't expect that much pain and I thought by day 5 I'd be feeling normal. I was sooo wrong. Everyone is different, some ppl have almost no pain post-op and others have a lot! I can say that each day after day 6 or 7 got a lot better. I even went to the store and walked for an hour with my family!today. Good luck to you, hang in there!!

I had my surgery on Monday, 4/29, and was in the hospital 5 days. I have had a lot of pain, but the doctor explained that I have internal swelling from the 5 surgeries I ended up having: RNY, hiatal hernia, inguinal hernia, bowel resection, and gallbladder removal. The pain is worst after waking up, and I take my Tylenol with codeine and get quick relief. So the pain may be due to swelling, but I was told if you have a "gut" feeling that something is not right, to call the office to run it by them to be on the safe side. Also, be sure to take tiny sips of Fluid. If I drink more that a small sip, I get pain. Hope I've helped a little :rolleyes:. Feel better soon.

I had my period during surgery. I came out when it was over. They were so nice to be the nurses/doctors. They clean me made sure my pad was on & I was clean down there. I had the best experience in that hospital.

      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.
