Hi all. I'm 5 days post op from my sleeve and never ever thought I'd have this much pain and issues with this!! I am getting deep aches and horrible belly aches and spasms. Jello, cream of wheat, is painful for me to get down. Please tell me this gets better. How long until your healed completely?

They have me Bentyl but it's not helping. Even the pain medicine isn't helping. I mean the incision part is feeling better, it is the spasms that are killing me and feels like a severe belly ache.

Ok. Thank you ladies

I had my sleeve done 4 days ago. I was already back in the ER with severe, extremely painful spasms. I have never felt anything like this in my life. Also I have horrible bloating and pressure in my upper abdomen. I am MISERABLE. My doctor initially recommended the bypass (due to my GERD), but I changed my mind and got the sleeve (due to my severe IBS and wasn't too crazy on the re-routing). Did I make a mistake? Will this pressure and spasms ever end?

Just wondering if you will be able to eat pizza again? And has anyone tried spaghetti yet?

Maggie, I have but it was very loose, similar to diarrhea.

Thank you ladies so much!!

Congratulations! What are you eating and what exercises do you do...and for how long each day?

I am only 4 days post op and feeling MISERABLE. I am having severe stomach spasms and keep getting terrifying belly aches. Also hurts to breathe. Please tell me this ends as you heal more.

I had my sleeve yesterday and I feel so sick from the bloating. It's very uncomfortable and it travels around my sides to my back. Aksi have nausea. Anyone else have this, and if so, what did you do?

Thank you!!

I don't blame you Nikki. I've only told my husband and my parents for basically the same reasons. Good luck to you hun

Does anyone here have a high BMI? Mine is 50 currently. Just wondering how yoir procedure went? Also, my doctor preferred me to get the bypass, but I chose the sleeve. Is the weight loss really that much significantly less with the sleeve?

Sending prayers Jeny

Thank you

How long do you have to wait to drive after your surgery

Thank you all so much!! Good luck to each one of you

Thank you guys. I'm going to call office tomorrow :-)

I'm having a hard time with my liquid diet too. I'm calling the office tomorrow because I've had massive headaches that had me most bedridden over the weekend. Today I feel like I could pass out. I feel dizzy and weak. Yes I am keeping hydrated.

Thank you!!

I agree on some levels. But that's why this for. Some of us need to vent our frustrations, complaints, whatever. I sometimes complain but end up doing it anyway. It's how I cope. The part about the coworkers is disgustingly true!! I can't STAND when a 125 pound woman says she needs to lose weight, or look at her muffin top, or she feels huge.............REALLY???? Ooh I just want to shut them up!

Hello. I am going on day 7 of my liquid diet. I am having horrible hunger pains. I am allowed 2 protein bars per day for snacks. I don't understand why something like a small amount of fat free cottage cheese wouldn't be permitted since it has protein, I don't understand what the difference is. I'm having a hard time with this. :-(

Did anyone here feel like they couldn't breathe when they woke up?

Hi all. I am looking for new bars to try. I'm going to try the Quest ones. I've tried Nugo slim and they taste horrible.

Thank you both and good luck to you both as well
