2 days post op

[qy22 30]

My surgeon says my surgery went well with no complications. Once I woke up i was in a lot of pain in my abdomen. It feels like you are being stabbed over and over and in waves of pain. I do have gas but it's subsiding as I walk and pass gas.

When I got back to my room the pain would not subside. My 1st nurse was rude and told me that I'm only allowed a certain amount of pain medication at a certain time as it was prescibed. I put up with pain until I got mad cause I felt like I was being tortured. She came at 430pm and gave me morphine. It did nothing I called for her 4 times after and she was ignoring me. I was in so much pain. My bf had left to walk our dog and I was alone so I text my sister because I couldn't even talk from the pain. I told her what was happening let's just say that lady rushed in my room and gave me propofol and I passed out with no pain finally. After that my nurse switched shifts and I have a great nurse who is giving me my nauseous and pain meds that work. Point of story: You should not be in pain at the hospital!!! Day 2 which is today took my drink test and I passed. I'm feeling so much better today. Only taking ice chips. Tried to sip a bit of Soup yesterday and my tummy got tight. So for now only ice chips.

Oh my word. I'm glad you are feeling better. I'm sorry you went through that. I was sleeved April 25th 2017. I didn't really have pain. I never took any meds for pain. The nurses should never be rude. I'm the type of person that would go over everyone's head until I get what I need. I will jump the chain of command if need be.

Report her ass up! You had a major surgery ... last thing is to be treated like you had your finger scraped.

I agree. I had to have a "conversation" or two myself. I was sleeved May 17th of this year and was in ICU until June 2nd. I am 50 more pounds down since surgery for a total of 120 pounds since my journey to well​ness began February 2016. #197MoreToGo. #VGSSavedMyLife

I had a lot of pain, too. I was a little surprised, everyone I talked to, and most YouTube vids seemed like the pain was minimal and recovery quick.
It was a rude awakening to me. But every day got a little better.
