Prepping does definitely help for those possible situations. Thank you... I'll definitely be stocking up on some Gas X!! Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I don't think anyone can truly explain the pain from any surgery. I haven't had the gastric surgery yet, but have had other surgeries. I had my tonsils out as an adult... Very painful. Then I had my gallbladder removed... Seriously didn't feel like I had surgery. Then a disc in my neck replaced with an artificial one... That's my spine... Little to no pain! All I can suggest is to focus on the long term results. Take full advantage of the pain medicine, initially while in the hospital (just to calm your fear) then reevaluate a day or two later. Everyone will have a different experience, but focusing on the "what if" with pain will scare you away. You can do this!! It is only a tiny moment in your life, that will pass, and the long-term success will definitely be worth it. You can do this and try not to focus on pain. I hope that helps and good luck!!!

Hi there. I have surgery scheduled for Feb 7. I want the Gastric Sleeve, but due to my high acid readings and lazy esophageal sphincter muscle, the doctor is suggesting the Gastric Bypass. Any thoughts or experiences? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
