About to blow a gasket (RANT)

That's it. I'm so mad I could just scream! I had my surgery on August 17, almost a month ago and I can still barely walk. There are some days when I begin to feel good that I start doing things around the house. All this just to end up going to bed crying or waking up in the morning in such pain that I end up laying on my sofa all day. I'm getting infuriated with this already. I knew it was going to take some time but this is getting ridiculous. I want out of this house! I'm tired of being home. I want to go back out there and find a job already. It's upsetting. If I would've had a job, I would've been fired by now. I'm forced to do things I know I can't really handle that involves bending over and lifting things, but I'm starting to feel like I'm alone here. If I ask for help, I get told I'm asking for too much. How the hell am I supposed to get better? I'm frustrated AND hurting...

please go back to your MD. It sounds terrible. There might be something wrong. Ask them to do another x-ray or another bariem swallow to rule out an leaks.

Take care

Yes, go back to your surgeon's office. YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN SO MUCH PAIN YOU CAN NOT WALK. I had my surgery the same day as yours and I've been back to work for 2 and half weeks. Something does not sound right. You need to go get it check out PRONTO.

I don't think it's normal at all so don't worry so much about it. I weighed 320 when I went in for surgery so the belly bulge is what's causing me to feel my stitches moreso than someone who weighs lesser. Most people I've seen or read about have had good experiences. Good luck on your surgery. It'll be here before you know it!
