This is the day after surgery for me and I don't feel good at all. I threw up twice today absolutely nothing. My stomach is sore as hell and I have such pain my chest from gas I feel like my left boob is going to shoot of my chest... Anyone else? Will I feel better?

Lea Anne, each day that passes will get easier. I will admit I was tired for the first week.

The first 2 days I took everything they would give me... anti-nausea, pain, anything they could put in my IV. I was spitting up bloody foam, and with ice chips I started throwing up foamy pink Water. I swear on morning three when I was released I was so so so much better. I was in full makeup that morning, sipping some diluted apple juice, and ready to go home. I never had the gas pains with this surgery.... but have had them before and they really make it bad. Walk and try GasX strips... not much else helps, maybe a heating pad when you get home. Day 3 was my total turning point, and every day was exponentially better than the one before. I was back at work full time after one week. It will get better!

I'm one day out and I'm feeling terrible... but manageable. Did your docs give you anything for post surgery recovery?

Yes!!! Walk walk walk! When I couldn't really stand i had the nurse bring me a walker while she held my iv pole. Waking helped so much, only if I can pass gas or have a bm I'll be golden

      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.
