Summary
Pain following bariatric surgery can be quite troublesome and prolongs recovery. Although laparoscopic bariatric surgery is minimally invasive and involves small incisions over the anterior abdominal wall, postoperative pain is frequent . Most morbidly obese patients also have obstructive sleep apnea and associated with cardiac co-morbidities. Prolonged postoperative pain in them may lead to delay in early ambulation and performing deep breathing exercises.
