I am so sore in my stomach which I’m sure it’s expected but were you guys in pain even when you yawned or sat up, in your stomach?

So i am in pain still! First it was in the hospital 24 gas pain on my left side. Then I got home and maybe couple days later I developed the same pain you are describing but mine is everything I do besides breathe it is sharp pain. I seen my surgeon and he states that he stitched up 3 layers of muscle and I must of tore one layer of stitches and that is what is causing the AWFUL pain. But the only thing to do is take pain meds and it goes away in 2wks (For me that is)based off my healing time. It will only get better! He stated that is is like the flick of a switch it goes right away not like it taking 2 to 3 days before you feel the pain completely gone. So I guess that is the plus I am looking forward too!

Yes, very common. I had to take pain pills off and on for the first week or so. Anything that increases pressure in your abdomen is going to hurt

I switched to Tylenol and it's enough

Tylenol the pill form or liquid? My surgeon gave me script for oxy but I don't want to take it.

Capsules, I put in my throat then sip it down. You can break it up. I only took 1. I'm feeling better already. Took shower .

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
