Only a little on my right side. I've taken only Tylenol. I guess I'm on of the lucky ones. I do need to make sure I'm all straight and ligned up before I drink anything though.

I feel the same way! I feel normal again like it never happened. I thought my insides would feel a bit different but they don't

You two are truly lucky. I'm not in intense pain but I'm in pain and it feels like something was pulled out of me in the right side. Still adjusting to everything. Trying to get the fluids in which is hard and the Protein yea I'm lucky if I get in 10 grams a day.

I don't have any regrets. I thought long and hard about my decision and im in it for the long haul. No one said it was going to be easy. Thanks for all the support my VST family:)

One thing I've noticed is that I really do need to be sitting up very straight, or at times kind of lean back when drinking. I realize now how badly I slouch right were my esophagus meets my stomach. The right wound where they took out my stomach hurts more if I don't stay on top of the Tylenol. (which is really wierd, because I never thought Tylenol worked at all). Don't let yourself get dehydrated! You WILL get through this!!!!! You were tough enough to have this done, you can certainly handle these bumps/ mountains in the road. Keep us posted. We're here for you.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
