Had my surgery, but very sore.

Yeah then that's not okay. They should be documenting the correct thing in the computer system I hope.

Take your meds, walk walk walk, and drink fluids. Brace your tummy with a pillow while walking if you have to, it really helps! Definitely brace when you go from sitting to standing or when you cough!

Yeah, the hospital wasn't giving me my meds as often as they should have. They didn't even come in to make sure I was walking. It was a shitty hospital. Good thing my surgeon is fantastic. The only pain meds that helped me is Dilaudid. The liquid Norco barely touches the pain. I can't wait till I'm done with this liquid diet. I'm so sick of eating broth and Jello. I miss my Protein shakes and Tomato Soup. >_<;
I am so sorry to hear that. Everyone deserves that great care when they have such a life changing surgery. If it were me, I would report this hospital floor to the hospital administration. Again I am so sorry about that.

A lot of the pain that you are experiencing is because you body doesn't know what to do because things are no longer the way it was before and you were cut on and parts cut out. In time the pain begins to ease and movement becomes easier

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
