I had my RNY gastric bypass on Monday. It was laproscopic and everything went well. I am just really sore. Thank God for good pain medicine. Keep me in your prayers as I go through recovery.

Is it getting better?  I had mine on Wed and in a fair abount of pain.

Hi, I'm currently just hitting 3 weeks out.  My first week the pain that I was experiencing was mostly from the trapped gas.  Try and get and walk ocassionally, it does get better.  Also remember even though you had it laparoscopically, you still had major surgery.  I promise, as the days go on it will get better.

I am 2 weeks out and the first week is the worst. I feel great now! Good luck and I will be praying for you!

My surgery was Tues.  No pain meds since yesterday early morn, pushed that morphine pump one last time.  Sore but not a lot of pain for me thankfully.  Agree with others walking helps the gas.  Take care and thinking of you:)

Me too! Monday 9-12-11 a day to start our new lives! I am the same just sore and gas pain seems to be the worst for me.  Today has seemed to be hard my pouch has been angry since this morning it is a chore just drinking my water, but this to shall pass. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, best of luck

It does get better.  I agree that walking helps gas - but I had my fair share of chewable GasX, too.  I was sore - and still have a few tender spots when I turn a certain way - but at about 5 weeks out I'm glad to say that I'm almost "normal" again.  I have been super (what's the word beyond that - take it and triple it) tired.  My work is not physically tiring, but emotionally draining - and so I can't blame it all on surgery.  It does get better!

 I han my RNY on tues. 9/13. I am starting to feel a little better, just feel like I have done a million situps. I hope you feel better soon!!
