Wow guys,
those are great responses. I’m 3 weeks post of going on my fourth. For me waking up in pain post op was dramatic. They had me waiting 20 minutes for my pain pump. I was in agony, so much so before I past out I asked the nurse why she was making me suffer. They didn’t have the pain meds ready for me when I got out of surgery and the anesthesia wore off. Once I got to recovery room ; the next day. I spoke to the charge nurse, the director of nursing, and patient advocates. To me it was traumatic, I was screaming.Make sure you speak to the anesthesiologist and let him know to have your prescription ready once you leave the OR ( operating room)
CrankyMagpie-
im sorry your going through that. Ask your insurance if 20lbs weight loss is a requirement of the surgery. I was only able to loose 10 lbs and we still moved forward. You may want to look at a different surgeon.

Hey guys,
I’m new to the site, I’m 3 weeks post op. I have been on liquids as a choice. However I’ve wanted to begin eating. I’ve been consistent in weight loss daily and I’ve exercised by walking for 20 minutes. I want a meatball but I’m afraid. Does anyone have ideas?
