i’m really glad you asked this ... still unsure which surgery to have but i’m allergic to most pain meds so worried about not having nsaids as an option (one of the things i’m not allergic to)

I too get super bad cramps and have chronic pain i took gabapetin to turn down my sensitivity. As for cramps i decided 2 days a month was worth 28 days of being pain free and having more energy. I havent taken anything for pain in 7 months and no more gabapetin 4 wks post op now.

[mention=363061]Tracydawn[/mention] how’s the chronic pain been since surgery? has that lessened


I haven't had any since 2 weeks post op..not even a Migraine. I had my period early wich is common with abdominal surgery and the cramps were very mild. Now it is late but usually i get cramps before it starts...hoping those are gone..

My surgeon just told me this week I could take Celebrex for my arthritis as long as I take omeprazole. I am one year out from RNY.


I had a sudden flare up of migrating joint pain just out of the blue and was told I could take Celebrex as well and because its gentle on the stomach not even PPI needed?

I am 1 yr post op RNY. It’s frustrating there are so many conflicting answers.....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
