My name is Beth, I had my surgery last Friday. January 11th 2013. I was out of the hospital the next day. I've been doing pretty well with pain management. The last few days I've noticed my left hip being sore and also my arms and shoulders ache if I use them for a while. Just wondering if this is normal? Also today I tried going for a walk for the first time. About3 minutes into it I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. (#2) so when I got home I was sick an nauseated And when I was done I felt extremely weak. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks! Oh and I've list15lbs in 8 days! Crazy!

Congrats Beth, I can'tanswer your question as I am still pre-op ( Jan 30th) but I just wanted to say Congrats on the weight loss. In 11 days I hope to be on the same side. Were you crazy nervous pre-op?

Wow congrats

Pre OP I got more nervous the closer the date got. But everything went well and I was nervous for nothing. Good luck with your surgery! hope all goes well!

Hi Beth,

I got my surgery exactly 1 day before you. I have not had any problems with pain. I have done some walking but I really made an effort to pace myself. A lot of folks say they experience fatigue and I didn't want to push. I walked about 40 minutes the other day. I experienced some nausea a couple of days after my surgery, but I think it had more to do with the anesthesia than the surgery. Any extraneous pain I have felt has been moving gas. The walking helps with that a lot. Congrats on your progress!
