Pain after surgery



Recommended Posts

That depends on you and varies person to person. I didn't have any post-op pain, just soreness. Others a few day, some a few weeks. One thing I know for sure is each day it gets better.

I'm only 1 day ahead of you and I have some pain leftover but for the most part it's pain that I cause by drinking too quickly or too much. Tylenol works great and for me causes less nasuea than some of the other stuff. Things get better each day as long as we treat ourselves right..

best wishes..

Third day after any surgery always seems to be the worst. I recall things getting much better after day 5. Take your pain med. No need to be a hero. :D If you feel like it is anything unusual, call your dr. There is always someone on call.

      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.
