You just had major surgery so you should expect some pain. Di you get any pain meds? If you did, you should take them in you're in pain. For anything that might appear out of the ordinary or exceptional pain, call your surgeon's office. No one on this board is a doctor.

Good luck with surgery. May i asj wi will be your surgeon. I'm still looking to get a second opinion fir my revision.
Good Afternoon,
I had the duodenal switch done 4 days ago and i still feel like I've been hit by a car. There is one incision where he had to stitch a musle together, so my intestines wouldn't go through it. I'm not sure it's the one that is so painful. I was wondering if there is anything that could help with the pain. Only thing that really helps is laying down. I know i don't need to lay down all the time. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rachel Collier
are you taking your pain pills as prescribed?
Ditto your previous reply. Just get rest. Follow the instructions from your surgeon. It gets better.

I've had a decade of really good labs (except about a year ago i needed an iron infusion....I hate taking oral iron...and I could have just done oral iron but that was easier.
