Ouch! Pain scale from 1 to 10? I have my surgery march 4th and im not looking forward to the pain.

I had very little pain. The nurses kept getting on my case about not using my morphine (i used it once in 8 hours instead of every 8 minutes). Don't stress about it.

They sent me home after one night. I would've liked to stay longer. I'm using gel ice packs for swelling. Getting up and down is hard. I've been given a medicine for stomach cramping and hydrocodone for pain.

Is the pain like a bruised feeling? Or like nausea?

Wow! That does look like it hurts. The incisions take about a week before they really start feeling better. Rest up, and if you have anyone to help you, let them!

Oh man I was never that bruised. The pain wasn't that bad but I used the morphine for sleep.

I just took a shower. I feel better from that but I need help doing everything. I know this gets better but right now I regret it. I'm not missing food at all I just have never been in so much pain.

asifitsthelast - Please keep us posted. I'm sure many pre-op people like me would like to hear the gory details, so we can mentally prepare. Can you describe the type of pain you are experiencing? day by day progress? mental outlook? length of hospital stay? any complications?

Best of luck to you and congrats!

I went in for surgery morning of Jan 16th and came home Jan 17th. The hospital was good. I had a morphine pump and tylenol iv. By the time I got home yesterday I was in extreme pain. I could barely lay down or get up without crying. And I have to have help. I had to get one.of those raised toilet seats to use the bathroom.

It feels like the worst bruise ever and when I stand up all the pressure goes to my belly. Causing my incisions to burn. They glued me so getting them wet is fine. I tried to eat some Soup today but it makes my stomach cramp.

Over all I feel horrible. Hopefully tomorrow is better. I can't do anything on my own right now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
