Ok I'm here in the waiting room. Nervous doesn't even come close. Surgery time is 7:15 so quite a while to wait. Would appreciate prayers.

You will be fine! It will be over before you know it! Just be prepared, you will have some major gas pain in your chest...I know I felt like I was having a heart attack! Make sure you press the button on your PAC pump whenever you need it, it really does help! Breathe as deeply as possible, and walk as much as you can. In all honesty, the worst part for me was the gas pains! It's ok to be a little scared, but you will come through it fantastically! Sending prayers your way.

And not I am having lots of pain in my stomach. I'm 4 days post op. can't get up and down without help. Burns bad.

I am wondering if having two hernias removed at the same time could cause extra pain?

Also I'm am black around each icut. Very black and big bruises. I'm taking my pills whole and not grinding them. They are all about the size of m&m. That's not my problem, I don't think , they seem to go down fine.

Others 5 days or around there say they have no pain.

I had discomfort 5 days post op....mainly gas and a JP drain. But everyone recovers differently. I would keep an eye on your temperature and temp of your incisions to make sure you don't have an.infection.

If you become very concerned you can always contact your PCP

I was sleeved on 2/19th 3lbs down.

Me too! 19th and 3 lbs since surgery. My belly is still really swollen.

I was sleeved 2/20 and it was outpatient so I have been home since. I am walking every time a eke up and just have gas in middle of chest. I am drinking more but not felt hungry or up to eating protein shakes or broth

Ok 1 week post op. Hallelujah the gas is gone! Feeling great! No regrets! Ready for summertime, can't wait to drop the top on my convertible! Whoo hooo!!!!

Learning the hardway about different foods (pureed stage). Trying to work on Protein consumption and Water intake.. thats my goal for the weekend.

I bought some special k protein Cereal. Granted i cant eat more than a 1/4 cup of it and milk, if u eat the 3/4 cup serving and 3/4 cup milk thats 16 tasty grams of protein. I let it sit till its a little soggy ( not pureeing that!)
