abettyc got a reaction from 360lyMe in Drain tube post sleeve
I do not have a drain tube however I do have pain in just one incision area. It's bigger than all the others. It's almost impossible for me to stand straight because it tugs and causes a burning/pulling pain. I guess it's pretty normal from what I have read. Since I have been walking slouched over my back is bothering me too! [emoji30] hope the soreness passes for you soon!

Yayyy 1 week down, feeling lighter and great already. Still on the liquid diet but starting to have tummy cramps here and there. I am not even drinking when the cramps occur, wondering if it's just excess gas or if I should be concerned since the pain is not to bad. Any advice??

Lol. It gets better. Im approaching 4 mos post op and my heater is finally starting to work better and i can stop wearing thermals. I too was freezing all day n night. To make matters worse my partner at work has menopause so she was always hot... just imagine 4 hrs in a car 5 days a week of that, lmbo. Omg was horrible.

Oh my gosh me too! My nail beds are purple and all! Crazy! I've been freezing since surgery and I'm never cold! Ever!

I had my sleeve on 4/24, no drain tube though. My pain comes from the bigger indented incision. It hurts when sitting up straight, bending over, trying to get up and down. I can't wait for this to heal.

After surgery I had to sit upright and sleep upright for the first two weeks. It sounds like either drinking too much too fast or gas. I would try taking smaller sips- literally use those medicine cups and sip them.

No worries and I hope it works, my spasms are gone as I've found the right mix for me - but please, any concerns speak to your doctor! [emoji4]

I was sleeved Monday too. I think I know your feeling. Is it kind of indigestion or a mild heartburn? Mine was like that till Wednesday and the nurses were giving me warm peppermint Water which helped. Disappeared by Thursday morning. Move your shoulders in a circular motion and walk a little with a bottle to sip from. The movement seems to reduce this feeling too

Thank goodness it goes away! I was not given anything for anti spasm but thank you for the information if it continues I will ask about that on Monday at my appointment with my surgeon. I will try warmer drinks and see if that does the trick. Thanks for ur advise it's a big help!
