Louise is gonna Lose

I'm right there with@KatFight. I was prepared for a horrible amount of pain, but had very little, as it relates to the surgery (because of the fibromyalgia). I was fortunate as I "only had the gas pain". I walked around the hospital all night the first night and it helped. I also used the pain pump the first night...probably more than I needed because I thought the pain would be unbearable. Best of luck to you!

I keep accidentally posting before I’m finished - sorry. I think it would have been helpful to have something a little stronger those first two days 100 pounds in almost 11 months. You have been through significant surgeries in the past. It’s likely that you’ll find this easier than your previous surgeries. (I had a c-section in the past and was prepared for that level of pain and it didn’t reach that point at all.). You can get through this and once you’re on the other side of this, you may find that it was easier than expected (as I did). I wish that for you. Please feel free to message me anytime.

I was only given Tylenol and did better than I thought I would w just that

Hi. I have fibromyalgia and am always fighting pain & fatigue. Not easy but my surgery went really well. I was expecting a lot of surgical pain and/or fibromyalgia pain and the surgical pain was less than expected. That first night home (went home in less than 24 hours), I had a lot of pain in my shoulder and back.

Had RNY September 5th, hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it, but I am currently Flare-free. May I continue to be so!

I had my procedure back in 2/17 and also suffer with Fibro. I don't recall having any issues related to it. In fact, now that I've lost weight, I've noticed a reduction in my symptoms. I understand your concern and you should listen to your surgeon, but in my experience, I believe you'll be ok. Best of luck to you.

Hi All, just joined this forum and I am excited to connect with you all. I believe that these groups are necessary to keep morale up and help during the rough times. My VSG surgery is December 20th. It has all gone so fast since I made the decision and I can't believe I'll be starting my pre-op diet on December 6th. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
