Fibromyalgia and Surgery

I'm having surgery next Monday and and scared. I have fibromyalgia and was wondering if anyone has had the bypass surgery that has fibro. I'm worried that my recovery will be longer because of this.

Hi There, I was hoping someone would have replied to you by now with Fibro. I don't have it but I have a friend who does. Please keep posting so that I can let her know she can do the surgery also. Thank You! Sissy Cortez

hi .. i have fibro and had my surgery 2 years ago in august. Everyone is different as you all know but for me my fibro has been non existant . nothing bothers me anymore. i havent had any use for medication and i feel wonderful. It didnt effect me during my recovery . It seems to have just left. I pray this will be the out come for you also. Best of luck with your surgery...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 1 year ago. I had gastric bypass surgery on 4-15-08. Since my surgery, I have had almost no pain associated with my fibromyalgia, and am no longer take Lyrica. I was also taking Kadian for breakthrough pain, and have now cut that daily dosage in half. My physician told me before my surgery that my fibromyalgia would not get any better after surgery, so you can imagine how upset that made me. I'm here to tell you that his statement just was not true. I DO feel a great deal better than I used to. Before the surgery, I seem to live only to take my meds so I wouldn't have any pain. Now, I tend to forget to take my meds because I feel so much better. Who could ask for more?
