Just had my RNY this morning. I was definitely prepared to experience a lot of pain and discomfort. But let me tell y’all...i feel amazing!! Hardly any pain, no nausea, not much gas. So those who have surgeries coming up, DONT BE AFRAID! I am your reassurance that not every story is a horror story. Be brave and remember that it’s so worth it! So blessed!

How are you feeling Bree? Everything still well?

I'm so happy for you!!! Wishing you continued success!!!

I am a retired nurse and spent most of my professional life working in labor and delivery. I cannot tell you how many times women get on the phone and talk about the terrible, near death, experience they had. I would just snicker because I had been with them and they had short labors, easy deliveries and no complications. I am not minimizing the pain of L & D but there is some gratification they get out of the exaggeration. My point is there are those that love to tell horror stories. Just click off and move on.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting to be discharged. I had no pain, other than feeling like i did too many sit ups, from the rny. I will stay in Mexico a few more days, then flying home to Seattle. So ready to be back to some sort of normal routine. Im so bored lying in bed at the hospital.

Mine was Tuesday and it was not that bad. The nurse messed with my IF and that hurt worse
Occasionally I do get a pain in my left side. I had more pain when I had the band 11 years ago.
