Surgery was on the 13th



Recommended Posts

Well my surgery was on Wednesday and I spent two days in the hospital. I had an easy time in the hospital thanks to the pain meds. I was discharged yesterday afternoon and I have been in pain ever since. I am walking and sipping Water, Powerade zero, and Protein Shakes. I am trying to eat when I can but I am not hungry. My gas pain is killing me along with breathing in deep. I also have the hiccups and burping pain. I am miserable right now. Hopefully this pain will pass soon. I am still taking my pain pills but they make me dizzy. Anyone having these same isssues?

Yes! I had mine Wednesday. Came home Thursday. Today I finally started feeling less pain until today I was crying with pain. Still on meds but once I started passing the gas I started to feel much better. Walking helps but I'm having a hard time getting all the liquids and Protein down as well.

Had my surgery the 13th as well. I'm having issue, I keep coughing trying to get some phlegm out it's killing me! I use a pillow push against the wall to cough but it's annoying and painful. Mucus is clear and no fever. Anyone else have this?

For the gas Anis tea is the best and natural!!

I had to use my inhaler for the first two days. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

      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.
