I am still taking my pain medicine regular. I had my sleeve and hernia repair on Tuesday, jan 8. I didn't get to come home until Friday night because I couldn't get anything at all down first few days. The first time I was able to get liquid pain mess down was Friday afternoon. I am still having a hard time. I have one spot that is sunk in and hurts bad...feels like it is pulling. Is this normal? I can't see how I will be ok to go back to work or drive in a week.
