I am in severe pain, but they said it would hurt worse since I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repair. I can sip my Water fine.. But I get a sever sharp pain afterward. The gas pain is hell too! I have 9 surgical areas and all but 1 of the sights have 2 staples each, but one had 4 staples and another has my jp drain in it.

Oh wow, that's a lot of work in one surgery. But also nice to get it all taken care of at once. I'm not looking forward to the gas pain. I was fortunate enough not to deal with it, when I had laparoscopic surgery before.

How long do you have to have the drain?... Staples. I thought they just stitched you up..... Are you home yet? sorry for all the questions. Probably not what you want to deal with right now.

Rest, walk, rest, walk and rest some more.. lol. But really, I hope you are doing and feeling better than yesterday.

It was a lot of work for one time, and I think it is slowing my healing time, and definitely increasing my pain. Usually this surgeon dermabondS your op sights.. But I have a crap ton of staples. I do still have my drain and it's still draining but hopefully he will pull it today and let me go home, but it's possible he won't with me unable to tolerate liquid.

I also have morphjne, dilaudid, and hydrocodone Syrup. I almost vomit every time I try to take it. So that's not cook!

I actually just walked... It is nice to move around

I am doing a lot better, thank you. :)

I'm still healing and sore, but each day gets better and better! The protonix did the trick with the mid epigastric pain I was having, and the other pain is just normal surgical stuff. Ready to get well and start working out!! ????

I was stuck with the JP drain for 6 months after a colon resection (sp) last dec. I understand the pain. Good luck and my prayers are with you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
