Hello everyone

I am Isabella

I just had surgery this last Thursday and it wasn't what I was expecting. No one told me about the pain every told me its painless.

I had the worst experience in the hospital . A lot of throwing up and throwing up blood. My stomach was in the worst pain. Now it's been a week I feel much better I can finally hold food down but I haven't been able to have a bowl movement.

Which is driving me crazy.

I am excited to in this community . post-260986-14399437581981_thumb.jpg

I didn't have the same experience as you. I never threw up and especially not blood. I have minimal pain from the incisions. The most uncomfortable I was, came from laying down snd turning over from side to side. I solved that issue with a small pillow I would hold against my stomach when I turned over. I had been told it would be painful and I expected the worse! I'm sorry you had such a difficult time. I'm also glad it is getting better for you!

That's horrible, did they tell you why you were throwing up blood? where did you get your surgery done?

Welcome. I had some pain, but it was very manageable. What does doctor say? Are you taking stool softeners?

Not everyone is the same so that is unfortunate that you ended up in a lot of pain. Glad you are doing better now! stool softeners are your friend!

Everyone's surgery is different. DH had the surgery a month before I did and he has the sleeve of a steel and I don't. Two days following being discharged form the hospital I was admitted to the ER for dehydration (and extremely painful migraines). My recovery time has been different from his. I was in a fair amount of pain for the first week, plus dizziness. He can eat most things with no problem, I eat something and it comes back up.

I think the main thing is to focus on you. Your body is different than the next persons. The gas pains will go away. Keep walking, keep drinking, eat small bites...A month from now things will start being "normal". You just have to get through the first two weeks. I found the first week to obviously be the worst, and then by the second week I started to have energy again. Just focus on why you had the surgery and what you hope to obtain with your new tool.
