It doesn't hurt. It's sore, but no real pain. I took some liquid Tylenol at home. It was an easy surgery for me. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

I had my lap band and RNY done at the same time, as well as my gallbladder removed and hernia repair on April 12th . I may be a big wimp but it hurts! Yes the port area is a little more tender then the rest. But the pain does get so much better everyday. I'm 13lbs down in 2 weeks.

Congrats on your weight loss. I hope I don't gain with the band being out. In your defense, you had 2 procedures done compared to my 1. And pain tolerance is different for everyone. I'm up and working today. I may even try to make my last class tonight. liquid Tylenol is working. It makes me wonder what my pain will be like after RNY.

I had the same..removal and bypass in one procedure. With hernia repair.

The pain from bypass is no comparison to the band!!!!

Im 11 days post op and having a few pain issues and had an episode of dumping. ..omg!!:(

:(

I was lucky for the single procedure. It doesnt work for everyone. Lost 15 lbs in 11 days.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
