Hello all, I just had my surgery Tuesday. Until yesterday when u got home, I felt relatively good. Since coming home, my belly has gotten rigid and sore, and I'm nauseated by everything. Is this normal for anyone? I'll call Dr in am, but I'm wondering what everyone else has experienced. Btw. I had laproscopic rny.

I had sleeve and was nauseous. The first week. I took some Meds and it got better.

I'm 8 days out and still in pain. At first I thought it was because of constipation, but that was cleared up. I've just been icing the part that's still in pain (my left side next to my belly and around 3/4 of my side) and I'm taking the pain meds from the hospital, but I just take it once instead of every 6 hours now.

I'm hoping the pain will get better next week or at least by my 1st pre op appt next friday.

Feel better hun.

It is normal. My surgeon told me that they use a numbing agent that typically wears off after 3 days. Give it a week and I'm sure you'll feel so much better.

@@limase63 Please call your Dr. to be sure it's to be expected.

Moral of the story - listen to your body. I felt worse by the hour. Belly got more tender and rigid. Couldn't eat or drink. My friend who came to check on me tried to reach bariatric office or surgeon. No dice. So to the ER we went. A catscan later I was back in OR to fix a hernia. I feel much better again. I'm glad bc I was regretting this choice if that's how I was going to feel! Glad it's not.

So sorry you ended up back in the OR but I'm glad you are feeling much better and didn't try to tough it out like most of us would have. You know your body and this is a great example of that. Hope the rest of your recovery is eventful free.
