And now I am trying to find a good support room where people do support each other and dont fight all the time. If anyone like to read my profile its at obestyhelp.com under Margaret Lake Wales FL Can anyone tell me what to really expect when I have surgery. Some people have said the pain is so bad and some say they didnt have pain. Well I;m a big baby when it comes to pain.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hey Margaret, I love Lake Wales. I will have to come up from Miami so we can visit the local antique stores in your area. We can have lunch, if I can eat (ever again HAA HAA ) I had discomfort more than pain. Mine was a lap. The worst part was the gas pains, but knowing I wasn't hurting myself was a relief. The gas pain was scary, but that would come and go. That is sharp knife like pain under my left breast. Once the nurse told me what it was, I was able to accept it mentally and just hang on until it passed. The discomfort from the surgery itself was tolerable. They gave me Demerol, and that made me sleep. When they switched me to Lortab, it cut the discomfort and I could stay awake, and when I went home I continued to use it for almost a week. It made me feel better mentally - like a crutch- but I could probably have done without it.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Welcome to the group Margaret. I had my Lap RNY on 3/10/04 and did not have any pain at all. Obviously having it laperscopically (sp?) it was less invasive than an open surgery. I had my little intervenous pain meds and didn't use it but to get some sleep. Never for pain. Keep us updated on how you are doing. in Delaware Lap RNY 3/10/04 261/178/120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
