Its over and I'm home!!!!!!!!!

Hi all- Finally on the losing side. Overall everything went well, jsut the normal discomforts. The worst of it is the gas discomfort if you have lap RNY, its like you have surgery pain plus this incredible pressure. It even hurts up into your shoulders and neck.This is normal im told. My best advice is to get up as soon as you can and get walking, it helps so much. Each day gets a little better, its amazing how much better you feel after the first 2 days. Of course , as I figured i got my period too, just a little more nonsense to add to the chaos! I had trouble with the morphine, it made me feel real funny a nd queasy, i didnt take it. i ended up just using liquid , sugar free Tylenol, once i was allowed to take liquids.im just not a narcotic person. Am home now and feeling tired, but wanted to post,and thank everyone for the well wishes and prayers. WEll, gonna go rest, thanks for everything. Pam

Pam- Congrats on your surgery. Your in looserville now! Yeah! I am so happy for you! You seem to be doing great. Get some rest! Linda

Pam, Woo hoo!! Soon you will be feeling even better. I keep wondering about the pain, even though most posts I have read say it isn't too bad with lap RNY. I'll be finding out soon enough. Best wishes for a speedy pain free recovery. Linda
