I'm so happy to read your replies. I went back to work three weeks after surgery - I could have gone back sooner, but why LOL? I have a desk job, but it is a "thinking" job and I am so tired at the end of the day. My brain is tired. After work I eat a little dinner, take a calcium and fill up my water bottle before watching some TV on the sofa. By 7:30 I am falling asleep. So I go to bed at 8pm with my iron pill and get up at 7am. That's a lot of sleep. I was worried that I was sleeping too much, but I feel great and I'm so grateful for this surgery.

The pain was gone in 36 hours and you can bet I am careful when I bend over now.

Yesterday was quite a day. I tried all day to have my first BM four days post op. After calling doc and trying everything, I went to the ER. I had a big blockage. They gave me morphine and the doc gloved her hand and reached up there to remove the mass. Today I feel so much better. After going through this day of intense pain, my recommendation is to take stool softeners.

Hi. I had my gastric bypass's on January 12. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. My roommate had the sleeve and she was up walking four laps around the nurses station when I could barely get out of bed. She had the pain in her shoulder like you but it went away after she started passing gas. Unlike my roommate, I'm in quite a bit of pain. if I miss taking my pain meds by an hour I can really feel some pretty intense pain. I just think everyone is different.

Last night i bent over to pick up the remote from the floor. Now I have reoccurring intense pain on my left side of my stomach area. I could barely get back to my bed. I realized it was time for my pain med so I took that and the pain is subsiding. Have you had this experience? I wonder if I ripped through a staple.

We have "Freecycle" in Sacramento, CA. Everything posted is for free and that is how I generally recycle my things. See if you have it in your area. Also Craigslist has a Wanted area.

Newbie. Surgery in two weeks and getting cold feet. Help!!
SactoWendy replied to RebeccaDawn's topic in Introduce Yourself
My RNY is next Tuesday so I can "feel your pain" or nerves. I keep telling myself that I need the help and I need to do this. I have had several surgeries in the past and all my fears were unnecessary. All will be fine and a better life is in our near future. Hang in there. I come to this site every time I need to calm down. -

I'm nervous about having surgery next Tuesday, so this was a very helpful thread. I thought the pain would be worse.
