What kind of surgery did you have?

When I was in the hospital I asked for pain meds, by the time I was discharged I had no pain. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them for something to make you comfortable.

Hating life so much pain, how did anyone get through this process

Sent from my QMV7B using the BariatricPal App

I had a full gastric bypass and though I had some discomfort right after the surgery, I didn't find it too bad. I think it depends on your pain tolerance. I tend to have a high tolerance, but don't worry, you're probably dealing with muscle spasms in the surgery areas. It was so much better the day after surgery and I only had to spend one night in the hospital. Within a couple of days, I didn't even need the small amount of morphine they gave me to go home with. It's all going to be worth it!!

I felt awful the 1st day post op. But I told them I'm not taking anymore pain meds.. I starting feeling better the pain meds made me sick and feel so not normal. I'm on day 3 and I'm home was able to shower and I slept on my side last night for the first tiime.

      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! 😞
