Just a question on type of surgery

[cindilew 1]

I just had my surgery on the 9th. I had the RNY, but mine was open. Did the rest of you have yours done laparoscopically? With the RNY, they repaired a hiatal hernia repair and removed my gall bladder. I feel like the pain won't ever stop.

I was lap RNY with a hernia repair. Use the pain meds, don't be a hero.

Hello @@cindilew (cuuute name!)

I feel so much for you right now!! I have had an ongoing pain issue since last Saturday. When I read your post I cried and felt moved. If I could send the cure, it would already be there [emoji56]!

Yes, as posted above, use your meds, talk often to your care provider, keep ahead of the pain if you can. Drink, rest, never stop believing this is temporary. It is. This pain will come to an end! It will take time-and that's the hard truth-but you will be so much better and so much healthier! A rotten gallbladder can kill you as an appendix can!

I had a lap-surgery, but we signed consent forms stating it was surgeons decision based on findings at time of surgery and if needed for safety. I'm positive your pain exceeds what I have dealt with. Only you know how you feel [emoji51]. God bless you and give you the guts everyday to get up, get it done, and move past another day!! Don't forget you're a WINNER! You're on the LOSERS BENCH now baby!! That ain't stopping for anything [emoji2][emoji106][emoji106][emoji108][emoji108][emoji171][emoji178][emoji171][emoji178]
