Thank you all. I'm a bit upset tho. For reasons that were not explained to me, my surgeon did the RNY open instead of laparoscopically and I was discharged after only one night. I'm in extreme pain, I can't drink fluids (it causes my stomach to cramp whether it be hot or cold liquids) I have not used the restroom and I keep vomiting (they say it's from the morphine) I'm very unhappy. I took a pic of one of my scars and sent it to my dad and he called my surgeon a butcher and wants to sue. Any thoughts?

Wow. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Did your dr. Visit you post surgery? We're you given the opportunity to ask why? You need to call ASAP and find out why but more importantly should you go back to the hospital.

I am a week post op and feel so bad for what you r dealing with.

Also. Where did you have the surgery?

sounds very strange that you had open RNY and were sent home after one day. I would definitely call the surgeon to tell him you're in extreme pain. make sure you keep a record of all phone calls you make so you can have documentation of what happened.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. My Internet was off. I had my surgery done at Newark Beth Isreal in Newark, NJ. My doc is Yvan Ducheine. He visited me after the surgery but didn't tell me he did open surgery on me. I found out when the nurse came to take the drain and pump out about 2 hours after he left! My experience was horrible. About 1 pm that afternoon I was asking if someone could help me up so that I could try and walk around but my nurse said no because she didn't want me to hurt myself. But came back at 5pm and told me I was being discharged in about an hour! Every1 was shocked when they saw me trying to get dressed to go home only 30 hours after being ripped open. I was in so much pain Nd felt like no1 in that hospital cared about me. My nurse called me a baby cuz I was crying from the pain. My husband was almost thrown out for demanding I be given meds (they took my morphine pump around 11 am) I'm sorry for ranting and raving but I really feel dejected and really depressed about what happened to me
