I had rny on Tuesday. It went really well. I only used the pump three times, and half a dilaudid once. I haven't needed any pain meds since then. Nausea was a big problem for me, but the worst episode went away after I walked some. I didn't have the back and shoulder pain that a lot of people seem to have.

I don't feel like I had surgery at all. I was able to sleep on my sides the second night. Not sure if I'll be able to do it in a regular bed. I feel fantastic. They did warn me that I'll have bad days.

The hospital was gorgeous and the staff were wonderful. I absolutely recommend using Dr. Kim at Florida Hospital in Celebration Florida.

Sounds like you're doing great! I've definitely been needing my pain meds and had gas pains that were sometimes worse than incision pain as well...especially in my left shoulder. Forward we go!! So glad to hear you're doing so great!

They warned me that I might have bad days too. I'm still waiting for them 

I (kiddingly) asked my surgeon if he had really done the surgery or had he just put a few nicks on my abdomen and collected from my insurance company. I know that it's rare, but some of us just have it easier than most.

I'm glad to hear everything went so well for you!

I'm sore today. I had a tickle in my throat and coughed all night long. I also woke up on my belly. I stayed the night with my family in the condo they rented and all the scrambling to get packed up and out the door didn't help. It's still not enough for meds, though.
