Did anybody have the experience of feeling really good the first couple days after surgery, and then when you got home the pain and soreness got worse?  That seems to be what I'm experiencing.  I just can't seem to get rid of this awful gas, and my belly seems to be way more tender than it was a couple days ago, and all the pain seems to be on my left side.  I've been putting a heating pad on my belly, and that is soothing, but it still hurts like hell!!  Also the liquid hydrocodone doesn't seem to do anything to relieve the pain.  Feeling a little discouraged...

I agree, I had my surgery earlier this month at Weightwise and I felt like the staff was very attentive and educational. Especially since several of the staff has had one of the WLS surgeries. Had a great experience. Good luck these first 2 weeks.

Dr did my surgery 2.5 years ago. He is wonderful. I trusted him completely...Just do everything he says...Good luck you will be fine....

I have lost 200 pounds . Anyway,,congrats for starting the next chapter in your life and enjoy it because it sure is a ride of a lifetime..

If you are looking for a top notch surgeon, he is definitely one of the best. He is also very demanding and you better be prepared to tow any line he tells you to tow. It's all in your best interest, of course, but sometimes grating on the nerves. I wasn't able to use him in the long run because he won't operate on a diabetic that has an A1C level above 7.5 and, after almost a year of trying, we couldn't get mine to budge. So, if you are not a severe diabetic, you should breeze through his program in no time. He is a nice guy.

for me it was about a week to 10 days before the scale started moving down.
