My wife stayed with me both nights (and days). The most important thing she did for me was to set up 1oz cups of water and protein shake for me. At first I was so groggy coming out of surgery that she would hand me a cup, and I would fall asleep before getting it to my mout [emoji28]. She also walked with me, and that was essential. I think she could have gone home overnight but wanted to stay. The nursing staff was spectacular. Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol! Pop? What do you think it was? The surgeon I spoke with told me to put a hot pad on it to help the pain. How long did it go on for before it popped?

The large incision was heavy and painful, but started to subside. After a rather long day of shopping, the pain extended from the incision to my left side and was excruciating. I am now 13 days out. I talked to the on call surgeon, who ascertained that there was no infection, and thought I may have overdone it, and managed to injur the inside stitching a bit. He wasn't concerned and told me to take it easy and use pain relievers. Tylenol works. But when it wears off, lordy!
