Stupid iPhone. Anyway I know I'm getting better, but my pouch is noisy and the shoulder pain won't go away and every time I take a pill it's like dropping a brick in my pouch. Then I have to go lie down. How long til I can expect it to stop hurting like a mo fo?

I'm 6 days post op and find that every day I feel just a little bit better. I actually felt worse on days 2 and 3 due to increased swelling post surgery. But on day 4 the swelling started to go down. I'm still in some pain on day 6 and for that reason am proactively taking pain medication, not just waiting for pain to set in. I find it very hard to move around - got get up/out of the bed or a chair. All movements have to be very slow. Other than that, I seem to be okay. I'm assuming that this soreness will decrease every day.

Im 8 months post op and believe me it does get better with each day, I proimise I had surgery on a Monday and was back to work the following monday. I am a big baby when it comes to pain.... I can't handle any pain what so ever. The only thing that lasted a bit longer was the shoulder pain which was from the gas. But once you get moving around and take lots of walks you feel better.

Thanks all. I had a terrified moment this evening when I ate 2 bites of banana. Baby tummy was not impressed, it spiked pain. I don't think it was dumping, but it knocked me down.
