reginabarry 2 Posted June 7, 2016 Hello my name is Regina and I am new to the group sites and this will be my first time having the surgery but I just want to know from people that already done it: does it hurt when you have surgery because I'm scared as I don't know what Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted June 7, 2016 welcome.... in terms of pain following the surgery it's one of the easiest surgeries I've had. I did have a nerve block, if they offer it to you I strongly recommend it. otherwise they will give you pain meds. if your meds don't work great for you ask them to try something else. your pain following surgery should be manageable.

johelicou 6 Posted June 7, 2016 I had my surgery just 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I did not feel anything during the operation. As soon as they gave me anesthesia, the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery an hour later. There was no immediate pain just soreness which is to be expected. Honestly, all I really felt like doing in the hospital after was sleeping but realized quickly that walking would help get the bloating down and pushed myself to do that. I generally have pain with gas but didn't have any just bloating. The only pain was minimal soreness from the surgery but everyone's story is different. You have to weigh that with the pain/feeling you have with your current health situation. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
