The gas pains eased up by the 5th or 6th day for me and were completely faded by day 9. I wasn't able to drink the liquid pain meds and did without.

It could be your diaphragm is bruised from the drain, if you had a drain. That took a day or two for me to feel better. I never had any gas pains, thank goodness. I heard they were pretty painful.

I had incisional pain in the first two days, then I had stomach pain like cramps or something like this till day #9.

So I would say 10 days to two weeks then you will be pain free.

If you think you are really in pain you should go to the ER. In the fifth day I had stomach pain and I thought it was a leak , but turned out it was stomach or muscle cramps.

Hopefully you will get well soon.

I hope it gets better. My pain was fully gone by day five or so. The gas pains are a bitch!

      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.
