Use a heating pad, keep taking your pain pills if you still have any and all will be well. Welcome to banderland.

Just follow the post op instructions your Doc. gave you and it does get better , if you can't sleep laying down then try a recliner or chair you feel comfortable in then maybe you can sleep for a few hrs. at a time , take your pain meds it will help if they gave you any , before you know it , you will fell like you again , then as you start to feel better you will also start having more energy than you thought you had, good luck on your journey.

I as well am really sore especially on my port side, I woke up this morning and my stomach muscle on my port side felt like it was being ripped out. Very intense pain unexpected because I have been feeling pretty good before. It been 16 days and I have been following my pre op plan. Only lost about 10 lbs . Hopefully, I will be able to start getting active again soon, I feel disabled right now, not being able to do much of anything or I will be in pain. Its got to get better. I don't want to regret this surgery.

      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.
