I was VERY grateful for the pain pump..lol
I've had two c-sections, a gall bladder removal, a tubal ligation, a broken ankle with metal implanted, and the RNY was the EASIEST of surgeries for me...
i had surgery on a tuesday
went home on wednesday
off of all pain meds by thursday
had my drain pulled on friday
had I NOT had a bad reaction to the steri strips I would have been able to go back to work 6 days later (a desk job totally)
I was driving myself the monday after surgery...
everyone is different in terms of their recovery.
