It's done.

Well, I am now 10 days post-op. It was HELL! Of course I had to be one of the "few" patients to have post-op nausea that lasted FOREVER. I was regretting every minute of this surgery until about 2 days ago. Now, I just hurt. Is that normal? I thought since I started feeling better, I was on the mend, but now it really hurts. It hurts on the inside. I pray that I haven't "ripped a staple" or something. I don't know. I hope this will all be worth it in the end.

What kind of weightloss surgery did you have?  I had the RNY gastric bypass.  I felt like crap for about 2 weeks, and even got depressed.  I'm at the end of my 3rd week postop and have only now felt okay.  Hardly any pain except from my peg/drain tube, but that is because it has healed all around it and the skin has tightened around it.  I had a lot of pain inside, and it is normal.  I felt like if I layed a certain way or sat a certain way that everything was ripping inside me.  I think it is because inside we were cut in two and it is healing together so it is going to hurt if a little strain is put on it.  I am sure you didn't rip a staple or anything.  I still am not sure if this will all be worth it, but I have been assured by many many postops that it will be, and I believe them.  I felt just like you did not long ago, and soon you will begin to enjoy your decision to have surgery more and more. 

I am glad to hear that you are doing better...I am still throwing up frequently and I think I might have a urinary tract infection linked to all of this...when do you come back to work? last week was my first week back and it was hell...well...headed to bed, hope to hear from you :)

I don't come bac****il 10/1. I extended it out a week more just to make sure. I hope you get better!
