So here is the deal.

I hear some much conflicting stories about the pain after surgery

Some people get up and walk like nothing had happend. And others are crying and wailing from the pain

As a emotional person myself i can handle pain but it scares me if im going to suffer like hell.

Even though i will but it still confusing what to expect.

So can somebody explain what it is exactly that is going to hurt and for how long? So i can prepare myself for the initial blow.?

So sorry for this post again. But if i know what pain to expect and how awful is going to be i can by stuff to ease it.

Its the same surgery and so many people have different experiences

I had some pain. Getting out of bed or a chair is the worst. I got out of bed wrong last night and almost fainted from pain. Look up how to get up after surgery and practice!

Most of my pain has been gas pain in my shoulder. My surgery was 11/22 and I was mostly off painkillers the 3rd day and am completely off them on the 5th day.

I hope there is much pain

I expect to be in a lot of pain. I will take my medication as prescribed and walk then walk some more. I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago. It was a very painful experience for me. But even knowing this I am looking forward to getting WLS. I know the pain will only last for awhile and that it will be worth it. If I luck out and don't experience a lot of pain that will be awesome. But I'm not letting the fear of being in pain stop me.

I'm absolutely terrified.... so thank you for posting this!

I go in 12/7..... I've been eyeing a sandwich all day just to sabotage myself because of it
