Thank you both! I will follow up with doctor. They are closed on weekends but I will try the answering service. I hope they don't get irritated by me.

Same. The only pain I had was in the hospital. I was sore getting in and out of bed at home (a comfortable recliner or wedge pillow helps with this), but nothing major. They sent me home with pain medication, but I never took it. And I think I only took the Tylenol a couple times. @JonBlue

Talk to your doctor about your lower pain tolerance and they'll be able to help you manage it.

The pain for me was mainly from the incisions being stiff for couple days, but still able to get up though without being in to much pain.

Just got a call from my surgery clinic, my surgery is being moved from the 27th to the 25th. I'm so excited!

I had my RNY on Thursday morning & was discharged from the hospital today. So far, so good. I didn't experience any gas pain at all, primarily just intense ab muscle pain...but only when I move. It's definitely gotten much better since Thursday afternoon and now broadly feels like I did way too many sit ups.
I didn't have any last minute second thoughts and have zero regrets.
Now the real work starts.

I have my surgery in 9 days and this thread is making me so nervous. Ugh.

Hi Jeanne I'm 3 months out from surgery and everything is going great. I'm one of the lucky ones - not a single problem . I just had my first bloodwork done since surgery and my numbers were perfect. I'm building up stamina for walking ,am less out of breath and hardly sweating at all. My joints are getting less painful and stronger every day. Like so many people before me have said... "I wish I would have done this sooner" (I was 68 when I had the sleeve done ) I did my first closet clean out - got rid of my big clothes and all my new clothes are 2 sizes smaller ! I'm just loving every day of this new lifestyle !!! Eating healthy and drinking feels so natural - no problems at all.It's my 2nd and only chance to get this right ! I see you're pre-op .... you'll do great ! How far along are you in the program ?
