How are you feeling? I had mine on the 12th. Spent two days in the hospital.

I’m feeling really good. Haven’t had to take any pain meds since leaving the hospital. I was in the hospital two days as well. Worst part for me is the liquids. I can get them all down, it’s just that I want some food lol. This weekend was tough with my family cooking a BBQ and I had to stick to my broth lol. Hope you’re doing good as well!

I was there last week. I almost cried. Find a tv show, take a walk, eat a popsicle..it will pass.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to share something my friend told me about and my dr approved was fine. Arnica tea and Arnica pain melt away pellets are great for after surgery. It’s amazing. The tea is so good and really help relax me. Check it out guys. It helps with bruising too. ?

I just had my surgery on May 5! Just hit 10 days post op! Now aside from being really hungry, I have absolutely no side effects (no nausea, no heartburn, no reflux, no aches/pains). I am just really tired from not consuming a lot of calories.

I did however had a rough start since my doctor didn't send me home with any pain management, so I ended up going to the ER the first night because I was in SO much pain (I think air bubbles were the most painful part). So I would recommend you have a better post op care plan in place from your doctor than I did, even if its just for at night when you want to sleep.

Oh Synlee I'm so sorry. You'll have to go in soon as you'll be rather dehydrated by now. Plus they can run some tests, some kind of scan would be good to see if anything looks not quite right. Remind me what WLS you had? I wish I could make all this disappear for you. I'm hoping Loot chimes in, I saw them post elsewhere with similar issues, you're not alone. Big hugs to you.

Well I spent Mother's day in Local ER for iv fluids... and now today I'm back at Hospital where I had surgery. Had CT no leaks, so that's good.. but still can't keep anything down. Still waiting on rest of test. Hope all is going well for everyone. Hugs
