Hello everyone. I've read dozens of books on RNY but one thing that's not very clear is the pain that can be expected post op. My surgeon is about to submit to insurance, so my date could be looming soon. ( Yay Yay yay!!!). I would love for you all to give me your honest feedback on what your experience was regarding the pain level. I'm hoping to return to work 1 week post op. am I being optimistic?

I Started a new job one week post op. I had some pain, but it was mainly my clothes touching my incisions. I was still getting used to my pouch and hated not being able to eat more. However all of that is the mental aspect of this surgery.
