Pain after surgery - I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it

Hi everyone. I've been planning on getting sleeved in about 8 weeks. BUT my bariatric surgeon removed my gallbladder about 15 hours ago as treatment for gallstones (he didn't recommend doing it at the same time as the sleeve, so two operations for me). In the past two of my kids were born by caesarean and I coped with that ok. But I am in such pain tonight, especially from the incision in my naval where the scope went in, I'm beginning to think I won't be able to handle the sleeve operation. What if it is even worse than the gallbladder surgery??? I'm not sure if I should go ahead with the sleeving. Does anyone have any advice or experience to help me? Cheers, from Cathy in Canberra
