I don't know what the pain is...call your Doc. As for the issue of being in pain Take your pain meds on time to stay comfortable; don't let get it get out of control. Really try to get your fluids in...it would suck to get dehydrated.
I went with bypass for several reasons. There is more long term data behind bypass. My doc thought I would have better results with it. I liked the idea of it being the final surgery. I liked the caloric malabsorption.
As far as the other poster who said you can only eat 3 tablespoons of food at a time or the you can no longer have sugar or carbs. That Is not the case with me. I am 15 months post op and enjoy any food. The biggest difference is portions. I can eat everything I used to, the difference is if I choose to. We all need to have a chance to eat freely and with time you can after bypass. The trick is understanding this is a tool and you can misuse your tool.
