Had my RNY December 30th. Was released from hospital today. My pain stays around A 7-8 when I'm up and walking and I get relief to about a 4-5 laying down. It still hurts so bad. Tell me it will get better

I was very lucky and had very little pain after the first 24 hours or so. Most of my pain was from the gas used during the procedure and got better with lots of walking. Try to stay ahead of your pain and take pain meds before it gets bad. I hope you are feeling better soon!

It will get better. In surgery your body was pumped full of gas. It takes a while for your body to shed the gas, around 5 days. Walking significantly helps.

i agree with the other folks posting. Day three was my hardest, but it got better every day!
