Post op pain

Hi! I had a lapband to bypass revision yesterday and I am home today. I feel pretty good, but the pain when it hits is terrible. Can anyone tell me how long their post op pain lasted?

I had my surgery on 9/14 and the throbbing lasted for about 3 days and I still feel pain when I sit or get up too fast on the right side of my stomach.

Hi
Welcome to the family. I also had the lapband the gastric bypass. It will last 3 to 4 weeks before you feel better.

Thank you ladies! I am nearly three weeks out and I feel fantastic!!

Congratulations! Did you have your band removed and the bypass in one surgery? My surgeon wouldn’t do both at the same time. I had my band removed in January and am scheduled to have bypass surgery on November 5th. Once the band was removed, my insurance required a 6 month weight mgmt program.

Yes, I had to have my Lapland removed because it caused dysphagia, GERD, and a hiatal herbal. I suffered for 5 years. He was able to remove the band and do the bypass at the same time.

So glad your recovery is going well! Best of luck with your weight loss!
