I had my surgery yesterday, and am back at home today. Question for those of you have already had an RNY... in your experience how long did the abdominal pain last?

I never had any

I had surgery the 12th and still have some achiness. It's sore but not pain med worthy.

I had my RNY 9/11 and I still have lots of pain. I have been lucky with liquids because I have been able to drink them down pretty easily. I get tired very easily but today I went out for 2 outings and I'm tired but happy.

I had my rny 9/11 but also a myotomy and hernia repair. All laparoscopic. I do still take pain meds at night to sleep better. I have a lot of soreness in my left side where the biggest incision was made. It hurts to bend, and reach for stuff. I can get around ok tho, walking for a long while wears me out. Pain is tolerable during the day, but it’s hard to get good sleep without some meds.

Went to my pre op nutritional class today! I assumed my program has the two week liquid diet. Totally doesn't. I almost crapped myself when she said I just had to do it the day before. However, just with my medical background I will be doing some variation of the liver shrinking diets despite them telling me I don't have to. I don't wanna bleed out or get a knick! That wouldn't be fun. On top of that, due to me thinking that I had to do the 2 week pre op liquid diet....I already had my food funerals. Might as well get in the right head space since I thought thats what I had to do anyway.
Oh also, since its official that my date IS set - we went and booked the hotel! Its getting SO close and SO real! Holy moly! The nerves are starting to hit me! Thanks for listening to me ramble! lol.

I had the shoulder pain as well. My aunt who is a nurse and also a sleeper told me it's the vega nerve that gets irritated and does go away. About 2 days after she told me that my pain was gone. I was about 5 weeks out. Heading into my 7th week now. How are you checking out?
