I had surgery this morning. Post op was really hard for me. Got to my room and things slowly started getting better. I took about 5 laps throughout the day in the halls. The only thing that is bugging me to no end is the anesthesia. I've been burping a lot, but it seems like every time I get back to my room from a walk, I have terrible neck pain from the gas. To me it's about 100% more painful than my stomach. Anyone have any ideas? The last attack was the worst. Will it get better soon?

WOW congrats!!! So happy to read an update from someone who had surgery today. I am going on Weds.

I have problems with anesthesia. They give me a lot of meds for it. I have never had gas pains so IDK what that's like. I am sorry. But I am so happy to read of someone's surgery today!!! Best recovery to you!

Congrats on your surgery!!! Hope everything gets better with your pains. Try to see if they will give u a heating pad. I had one on my shoulder and neck after my gall bladder surgery and it helped so much. The nurses told me to use it. I didn't have the pains with my rny but was prepared for it anyway. I agree they are horrible and can be worse then the actual surgery. Good luck and hope that helps.

I was doing well all day yesterday, but then I started draining like crazy. I had to have 2 blood transfusions. My doctor said it was because all of the blood thinners during surgery. I feel a little better this morning, but I'm dying for some water! Hopefully tonight!
