I know everyone is different but I didn't have much pain after surgery so hopefully you will be the same. I was worried about getting sick because I've had issues with pain medicines making me sick in the past (my chart says I'm allergic to Demoral but it isn't really an allergy, it just made me terribly sick after I had my wisdom teeth taken out). I'd just be sure to tell the surgeon about your concerns. ...They put a patch behind my ear to help with nausea before surgery (I think I wore it for a couple days). They were also giving me liquid medicines for nausea for a while too in the hospital. I never threw up. Now that I think of it I have nausea medicine that I got filled prior to surgery and I've never had to take it (surgery was last July). Good luck with your surgery!

Hi! My surgery is the 28th, too! Having RNY. I'm nervous, but trying to remember this is a journey to better health for me. Like you said - eyes on the prize!! I'll be starting the 1-week liver shrink on the 21st. I'll be thinking of you! Here's to better health!!

Aren't you excited? The reading and gathering of information is way beyond overdrive. I'm having my surgery on the 31st, keep me posted. See you you in the January Surgery thread.

Hello all,
im so anxious My surgery date Is 01/28 and its approaching pretty fast but im So Ready that i keep coming on here reading people experiences, screenshotting any helpful info, and reading almost all the forums. My Surgeon has suggested a 1 week liver shrinking low cal, low carb diet but im going to do 2 weeks being that yes I cheated and ate things that i know i will not eat ever again after surgery and had a couple last meals. So over the last month and a half I’ve gained 10lbs back so i have to work those lbs back off before surgery. Im very determined in fact from September 26th-dec 2nd I lost 37lbs So im not worrying about losing the 10lbs Before Surgery. JUST HAVE TO KEEP MY EYES ON THE PRIZE.

So I started this journey in August 2019. I just found out that my insurance has approved me.
I still need to do the EGD an I am scheduled on the 15th of this month. I have one major concern and that is, I can not tolerate any type of pain medication on an empty stomach. I am worried about after that surgery. Any advice?
