It doesn't hurt. It's sore, but no real pain. I took some liquid Tylenol at home. It was an easy surgery for me. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

I had my lap band and RNY done at the same time, as well as my gallbladder removed and hernia repair on April 12th . I may be a big wimp but it hurts! Yes the port area is a little more tender then the rest. But the pain does get so much better everyday. I'm 13lbs down in 2 weeks.

Congrats on your weight loss. I hope I don't gain with the band being out. In your defense, you had 2 procedures done compared to my 1. And pain tolerance is different for everyone. I'm up and working today. I may even try to make my last class tonight. liquid Tylenol is working. It makes me wonder what my pain will be like after RNY.

I had the same..removal and bypass in one procedure. With hernia repair.

The pain from bypass is no comparison to the band!!!!

Im 11 days post op and having a few pain issues and had an episode of dumping. ..omg!!:(

:(

I was lucky for the single procedure. It doesnt work for everyone. Lost 15 lbs in 11 days.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
