shannon.crigger 13 Posted June 21, 2016 I had mine on the 16th! So far so good. Pain was very tolerable, yes I use my pain meds when needed. Gas in my cavity still a issue:( my post op appointment is today. Can't wait to see if the scale moves any! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App We are surgery sisters.

The slower I sip they say the less the pain will be I don't feel like I've lost anything but that scale made me happy. The stomach incisions don't bother me at all. I guess it's the behavior mods jennyw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4mybabies 36 Posted June 21, 2016 I had my surgery June 13! I feel fine other than soreness on my left side and the only gas pains I had were in my shoulders as well. To be honest Im over the shakes already and would love some tuna Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shannon.crigger 13 Posted June 21, 2016 I'd love some broccoli lol. I also had my gallbladder removed so I'm wondering if that's why I'm still in pain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chycky 671 Posted June 23, 2016 I could have stayed 2 nights but I wanted to go home. I had a very early 6am arrival 730 am surgery so really it was like I was there 2 days since left at 7pm following day. First day rest and a few walks, 2nd day early in day leak test then broth Jello ice chips a few times that day. Rest walking bathroom. I was on Fluid iv drip entire time which meant bathroom every 1-2 hours practically. I was able to go on my own they just stay outside bathroom to make sure you don't fall. Happy to be home in own bed without as much noise as hospital ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie143 94 Posted June 23, 2016 Good luck today Suzzzz! Had my surgery on Tuesday the 21st. I also had a hernia that they found and fixed. I was nauseous, in a bit of pain in the top part of my stomach and a good deal of pain in my left shoulder. Was on IV drip the entire time in the hospital so had to pee constantly and every 2.5 or 3 hours a walk about the floor. Couldn't sleep between the bed, the peeing and the constant vital checks. I had to stay in an extra day because I had an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me and I needed to get in more Water. I didn't want a single thing. They did a dye test while I was knocked out in the surgery and I did not have another leak test following that one. I was very happy with the ice chips. Get your ice chips! Walk walk walk. The walking eases the pain in your shoulders and your stomach so move. fart, burp and ride the hiccups. It all helps it go away. I have a sore throat and am coughing up a little phlem from the tube. Home today and still on Clear Liquids and don't want them but trying. Tomorrow full liquids. Can't imagine I will want that either but have to push and have to take meds so I'll have to make it work. My stomach hurts today drinking the Water. Do not want. I will get it in as I don't want to go backwards. Gained water weight from the IV drip I think as I came out weighing more than I did when I went in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
