Even though they tell you no please believe me you will feel so much better with it. Without I felt my so much pain.

I did not have a binder and I was completely fine without one. My doctor does not use them.

Maybe it helped me more because I had my gb out and hernia repair at the same time as my rny?

You're a tough cookie then had I had a hysterectomy 8 wks earlier,i would have bowed out of another surgery for awhile! My rny was my 15th surgery...guess I'm not a fan! Lets just blame it on my old age then!

15th surgery!!! I feel like a big complainer now! I can't believe I did this to myself because of all the pain and I'm relatively certain I would have backed out knowing how much it would hurt after! But you knew and took it on anyway... That's bravery right there! Way to go!

Well I'm 4 days post op. The pain isn't to bad but getting in and out of bed or a chair is hard! Going to tackle the shower soon. Haven't weighted my self since morning of surgery I might tonight. So my issues are....: back pain, no gas yet, little hiccup type things that hurt like hell, and not getting in the Protein. I don't mind the taste in just full! other then that I'm pretty happy and bored.

So 5 days post op. Not much pain just sore. It really on hurts to get up. Haven't used the pain meds since Wednesday. They made me too sleepy even at the lowest dose. Happy to hear everyone is coming along.

I kept having to postpone my rny. I was supposed to have my hysterectomy in Aug but when I woke up they didn't do it bc they found cancer. So I had to heal 6 weeks from that surgery then have hyst and my surgeon wanted me to heal 8 weeks before rny. It's been a journey to get to this point!

I am excited to report that today I am finally losing on the scale...So excited after a gain with the surgery/fluids. I also am not taking any pain meds and doing really well. Still sore and have some pains, but nothing like the first 4 days post op. I will report my weight loss on Monday and now that I see a loss I am not going to weigh in again until then. .

Sounds like you are doing very well. I am so happy to hear this. Today is my 11th day post op and I think I am doing pretty good too. I haven't weighed in a couple of days but when I did I think it was wednesday I was down 2 pounds from surgery. My belly is still very bloated So I am sure my body is holding onto some fluids ect. But all and all I am glad I did this and I think I will be healthier because of it. Wishing you the very best.

Momlambert glad to hear from you since surgery. Hope the coughing gets better. Glad to hear of no serious issues with this weeks postings. I am scheduled for Monday. Getting a bit nervous. Have had other surgeries and don't look forward to the pain. Anyone have the Q pump? That is what my doctor uses for pain.
