May 27, 201511 yr Prayers for you both!! Be sure to let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it^_^
May 29, 201511 yr So it's been a rough few days. My surgeon doesn't believe in narcotics so I got liquid Tylenol thru my IV and that was it so I'm super tired, sore, and annoyed with my doc but I'm recovering. Hunkered down on my big comfy couch. Praying this gets easier ad the days go on.
May 29, 201511 yr You guys will do great! If you have read many of the post, you know what to expect. I thought of the worse scenario and it was not even close. I had my RNY the 28th yesterday and got home tonight. Worse part I think is gas pains, bring gas x and start taking it ASAP and get up and walk, walk, walk. Thoughts and prayers for you both.
May 30, 201511 yr Im gonna ask my surgeon now what his standards are for pain relief. I refuse to be miserable if there is no reason to be.
May 30, 201511 yr @@RNYGal I am sitting here in shock after reading your post. How is that even legal? How does someone not "believe" in helping his patients pain level? What happened to do no harm? You body needs to heal, and part of that is staying on top of that pain so your body can rest and relax. I am so sorry and send such positive healing thoughts your way. How brave you are. I don't know if it's feasible but is it too late to visit another Bariatric center? Did you know this going in? Is it written down somewhere, that he doesn't "believe" in using narcotics? I just feel so terrible, that you have had to go through this.
I'm excited and nervous my surgery is first tomorrow am. Prayers please
