I had ROUX-EN-Y on 08-26-08 (just 6 days ago). There was a small complication during surgery. I was told nothing big. The Doctor had cut one of my arteries and had a hard time stopping the bleeding. He had to sew it to my abdominal muscle. It has left me with a dimple, resembling another deep naval on my upper left side, under my breast. I am having a hard time moving. I.e. getting up and down, turning over, going to the bathroom even when only mind pressure is needed to do so. The pain can only be described as a stabbing and pulling pain. I have spent most of the past 6 days in bed on my right side. I am wondering if anyone else has gone through this and if so it took you to get up and moving again without the extreme pain? I am pretty dependant on my family right now and am eager to get up and moving. I am having no other problems. I have only been on liquids and pureed soups. So far all has gone down fine other then a bit of a tummy ache from time to time. My only set back is the pain from the artery sewn to my muscle.

I would be grateful for any answers you can offer.

Thanks!!!
