Hello everyone! I'm just curious on how y'all did on pain. I was sleeved last Tuesday. I have 5 incisions. Most of them I don't notice are there with the exception of one and the bigger one which is bruised. If I sit to long, getting out of bed, walk to long, getting in/out of cars and move wrong the pain is still there. I know several people that have had this and they are like I don't remember much pain. So instantly I think am I acting like a big baby or something lol.

Thank you. I'm so thankful I found this board!!

My biggest one gave me some grief for about the first month, but only if I tried to do too much. I did not need anything for the pain past my second day home. The smaller ones did not bother me at all except for the itch.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I had a lot of concern with the pain of the lower/bigger incisions. My Dr. said it as normal, and that bigger incision is where they stretch to pull out your stomach and where they put a deep stitch in. It was about 2 weeks before it really subsided. Now there's barely any pain, and even find myself turning on my stomach in my sleep with no discomfort. There's hope! It's normal! :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
