I am a nervous wreck y'all I am terrified of the pain I will have. I've been waiting a year for this surgery and have 0 support from my family. Going to the hospital now I would love someone to talk to, bond with, be friends with. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss!!

You got this!!!! The pain post op is probably worse in your mind than it actually is. I know I convinced myself that it was! Congratulations on the next step to a happier you!!![emoji3059][emoji3059] I'll be waiting to hear all about your experience!

It's MY time!

I had RNY and my pain was not good but I think I'm a baby when it comes to pain..

Good luck you’ll do great... be sure to get up as soon as you can and start walking. I had my surgery in March 2018. Best decision ever.

WALK WALK WALK................ as soon as the dr. says you can get up..... WALK the halls.....

I've had 8 SX's and this i know. sip your water. never drink from a straw.

The pain is not bad do not panic Look forward to you new life.... and I agree with above GET out of bed and walk walk walk and do not stop walking I will really help - Congrads and enjoy

Yes!!! It will just depend. I got up asap was walking like crazy cause I heard about gas pain blah blah so I was like nope not today body not today...positive thoughts and knowing that you can do this. I wish you best of luck it is so worth it.

...also easy on the pain meds (if you are taking them) they contribute to the constipation..

I sware we have ESPn.... hehehe..... I was just fixing to write to start taking a stole softener now.... Pain meds made me constipated also

actually, most (not all - but most) patients really don't experience much pain from this surgery. Just the gas pain.

I had mine on 5-20! Would love to be buddies! I had very little post op gas pain because I walked the halls for the 24
Hours I was inpatient. Nurses were my cheerleaders. Best of luck!

Good luck! I’m sure you will do great! I’m scheduled for my sleeve on the 27th.

Good luck! Be your own support system and fight for that healthier you!
