Post-surgery pain
Hello. I had my RnY on Tuesday and came home today. From your experience how long does it take for the pain to get better? I'm taking my meds as prescribed but they wear off before it is time for the next dose. I've been pacing around the house trying to help the gas move out. Anything else I should try?

I had mine the day before yours and was/am that way too. only tonight was I not clock watching for my next pain medicine dose. It just takes time for your body to heal.

I'm nine days post op and the pain has gotten much better. Still hurts to cough or sneeze. My biggest problem is my back. Not sure why it's hurting so bad. I can't stand up for more than fifteen mins and it's killing me. Anyone else have this problem. Also how much pain meds did your Dr give you. I only got a weeks worth, is that normal?
