Topic: RE: Prior c-section to lapRNY?
I have had 3 c/s as well and wondered this same thing. Someone at the support group I attended answered this for me. She said the c/s was much worse. That after a day or so there was no pain with her RNY, she had open, as will I. The nurse at our support group said most people go home on tylenol or only take pain meds a day or two and that none of the patients were still on pain meds at their first post op visit. I know I took my pain meds a bit longer after the c/s so this must be easier to handle. Good luck.
Topic: RE: RECLINER vs BED
OMG it does get better but at times I wish i did have a recliner. I toss and turn so much. I'm very uncomfortable sleeping, I have found that a pilow stuffed behind my back and in front of my gutt helps releave some of the pressure I feel but its not the best sleep but better with nothing. I find now that my lower back is hurting and my neck is stiff from trying to find comfort through the night. I have not been in a recliner but I would love to know the answer to that as well. I would invest if someone said it was worth it. MY NIGHTS are NIGHTMARES!! 
Topic: RECLINER vs BED
I have been hearing different stories about this! Are any of you having problems sleeping in your bed? I have been seriously thinking about buying a recliner. Is this necessary? HELP!

I think that we all handle things differently! I am not scared, more worried. You will be fine! Prayers for a safe and painless event! :-)

Topic: RE: Day 4 post op
So torn, do I buy a recliner or not? Sigh! Our bedroom is upstairs with a tiny half bath. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Are you all sleeping well in your bed?
