First day after coming home from the hospital

It's no problem. That pain changed me forever! LOL

hello i am just starting the process of going for gastric surgery i have to go for all the test then get the okay from Health first.after reading of the pain you had with the gas it's making me really think twice.i want the surgery but don't want my adult sons see me in pain. i had hernia surgery and i walk 4 hours afterwards so maybe i could handle this surgery.i was wondering is the pain really uncomfortable to the point you feel like screaming?good luck and a speedy recovery.

It's more like you're going to "explode" pain than anything.

I had no pain whatsoever, so no telling how you will fare.  It certainly shouldn't make you reconsider surgery.   Not sure if you are male or female but I would guess that most people who describe graphic pain after surgery have never had children!

hello i am a female.it's making me scare when he said the pain was really bad because of the gas.i am scare now more then ever.i want the surgery because i can't take the acid reflex,pains in my legs.doctor said i only have to loss 50 lb the most.thank you if you can tell me more.

You can have a week of pain from surgery, or 50 years of pain from your body falling to pieces. It was an easy choice for me.

i like that comment,you are so right,thank you

My gas pains from both of my prior laproscopic surgeries (Lap-Band surgery and gallbladder removal) I had the worst gas pain... but mine wasn't digestive gas pain, it was pain in my shoulders. I was told this was the air they used to inflate my abdomen so they could do the surgery. Everyone is a little different, so you may not experience this... but Gas-X is your friend!  The pain will be short, but the surgery will change your life for the better!

Thank you that helps me out a lot.last night i sat down with my sons(ages 28 27) and we talk about the pros and cons and it came down to my health,i decided to have the surgery.if i can give birth with no pain meds(plus 1 son was 11lb 2oz)i could handle anything with this surgery.

Glad you're home and recovering. Best wishes to you on your journey!
