We had to call the emergency line for the nurse and she said I am having an allergic reaction to the Carafate that I have to take 4 times a day. So they pulled me off of it. My face would literally get so hot that it would heat up a cold rag in a minute. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My BP was good when I left the hospital yesterday. I woke up from a nap and my face has been red and hot ever since. There are no dyes that I know of in the medication. I'm trying to keep a cool rag on my cheek to see if it helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone experience really hot/ red cheeks but no fever a couple days after surgery?? Maybe from the pain medicine? I'm feeling okay and drinking plenty of Water. But I'm worried about my cheeks being so hot. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys! So I had my surgery on Tuesday 6/28 and it went amazing. My doctor said my liver looked great from where I followed my pre op diet so well. Here's just a few things I wanted to share.. I was in a lot of pain when I woke up. Morphine wasn't even making a dent in my pain level. The first night in the hospital is by far the worst. I had severe nausea and I threw up a couple times. I walked so much in the hospital that my gas pains where at a minimal. So that was a good thing. I was up probably every hour and it was super hard to get comfortable. The next morning I went for my leak test and it showed that everything looked great which I was so happy about! I stayed in the hospital a few hours that next day until my nausea was controlled. I was on a phergan IV pump. I even threw up my pain medicine. It felt like I had some mucus in my chest and they wanted me to try to cough and take deep breaths as much as possible. I'm two days post op and last night was soooo much better! I was able to sleep 4-5 hours at a time without pain or nausea. The soreness is already going away and I can get up by myself now. No matter how much pain I was in the first night, I still never regretted my decision. I promise it gets better and better everyday. Praying for everyone to have a speedy recovery!

Thanks! That's awesome. That makes me feel better. Most people say the gas pain is the only pain they had. Hoping for the best! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much! I'm trying to stay positive and think about why I started this process in the first place. I'm definitely excited but overwhelmed at the same time. My surgery is at 9:30am so hoping that I get to come home the next day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am having surgery tomorrow and I couldn't be more nervous! I'm terrified of a complication. I have been on my pre op diet for two weeks and I haven't cheated once. I have a great support system and an amazing surgeon who I trust, BUT my nerves are just everywhere! Any advice that helps you stay calm before surgery?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
