Describe Your Post-Op Pain
Well , when I woke up still in the OR Because there was no bed.. I felt all the pain.. I was dyyyying it was painful it was horrible.. I started yelling who ever was there I was in pain.. I couldn’t see well but I know the anesthesiologist was there I remember his blond hair .. he gave me something I pass out .. when I woke up again I was still there in pain but more tolerable. I couldn’t stop rubbing my belly thinking it will help me. It was a horrible experience to be honest. I was fine once I was in the RR connected to my personal pump.

Post op pain
Something similar happen to me.. after I was release from the hospital my husband went to get my pills .. not there .. I call the hospital and they told me .. they didn’t confirm transaction .. so guess what .. it’s too late gotta wait the next day.. pharmacy is close. So I went all my afternoon and night to the next day with no pain killers .. couldn’t sleep much .. had my recliner .. helped lots with bunch of pillows. And walking. Also I would walk After taking my pill .. less pain and after my walk ... water sleep. And to keep in mind why I’m doing this. Is hard.. but it will get better.

Adhesive reaction
I did but not as bad as yours .. the worst one was on my tight cuz of the catheter ... I still have reddish area but the itching part is gone. I was bathing with aveeno, I don’t know if that helped me .. but I didn’t use nothing else.

Mouth care
Omg same here ... I have to brush my teeth like 4 times a day.. sometimes I get it more after my protein. So what I do is as soon as I’m done with my shake.. mouthwash the hell out of it. It has helped control it.

Surgery and period ugggh
It happened to me... weirdly .. my period during the hospital was very minimal .. until I got home ... it was like it was waiting to be in a safe place. Luckily no pain thanks to the meds. Was one of my lucky no pain periods in a while.

Thanks for asking! [emoji178] how you been?

Sleeping position for comfort after weight loss surgery?
I slept on the recliner too.. for like 5 to 7 days, than move to my bed.. and it was painful and uncomfortable, so what I did was lay a pillow under my right side.. kinda tilting my body to the left.. and playing around found a position that it didn’t bother me “much “ I usually saved my pain killers for bed, but it’s gotten better to be honest I can’t sleep on my right side but prep well, I can sleep on my left side. Good luck and it will get better.
