My surgery is coming up in 2 weeks. I know I will have pain but is it unbearable?? I've had friends that have had it done one was in bed for bout 3 or 4 days the other well it's been over a week. I know everyone is different just wondering about how long the pain stays. Also since surgery is getting close I've found myself researching nonstop to make sure I didn't miss anything. I mean I know this is what I want and need for my health. But I've seemed to become obsessed with it. I'm so afraid I'm gonna mess up after am I over thinking everything??????

I should also prob add that I had my Lapband of 6 years removed at the same time.

The first thing is: Everyone's Experience & Pain Tolerance is Different (as you can see by the responses)

I had no pain where the incisions were......just a slight soreness where the stomach was removed....I tend to handle the big things easily, but break a nail, and I'm a baby....no pain meds needed.

I was walking in the recovery room (scared about that gas pain I had heard about).....eyes were still blurry from the anesthesia, had a nurse on each side, and I walked every hour until a room was ready 4 hours later.....
