Pain swelling so much pain



Recommended Posts

Where is the pain? I was in severe pain the first 24-48 hours after surgery but it subsided.. then if I ate more than 2 oz I would get the same sharp pain. My surgery was 8 months ago and now if I don’t stop I get pain. I really don’t mind because it is my body saying “ok you have had enough “. After a surgery like this it is very important to listen to your body I hope you feel better soon

I was given IV pain killers for the first 48hrs think it was fentanyl; I slept so much 😀

You just had surgery, it'll all get better within 2-3 days. You're in the hospital, the're giving you pain medication, it'll all be fine. Just hang in there.

Danny, did you have complications? I think that you had surgery several days ago?

Like the others have said it will get better quickly. Some people have severe pain and some none at all.

Hang in there!

Gas pain can be extreme right after surgery. Are you trying to walk?

Please expess what you are experiencing to your medical team. Especially if the pain treatment isn't providing you relief, they can help you. I hope you start to get some much needed relief very soon.

      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?
