Well had my one month post op. Everything went well but they were concerned about my leg soreness. Had to get an ultrasound done to check for DVT. Waiting on the results. Send all your good vibes please [emoji20]

I think you had surgery about the same time I did. 11/21 Have you been meeting fluid goals at all? has this been going on the whole time or just started?
-
November 2018 Sleevers!?!?
You poor thing. I am sorry you are struggling. I would definitely go see what is going on. You should be able to keep fluids down and getting dehydrated will only make it worse. Have you called your surgeon/office to let them know what is happening?

Migraines after surgery? First aura
Did anyone have migraines before surgery that got worse after? I think I experienced my first aura tonight. I am 3 week's post op. I had a rainbow sort of zig zag ring that was impairing my vision. It lasted about 30 mins but went away. However it scared the crap out of me. Has anyone experienced this? [emoji20]

I have pretty bad pain close to one of my incisions. It doesn't hurt if I'm not moving, or stretching it feels fine. But damn sometimes when I use my abdominal muscles to get up, twist, or have something pushing on the area it hurts a lot! I have my one month appointment Tuesday and will be asking about it but it's very annoying. It's only my left side close to one of my larger incisions. The rest of my incisions feel great!

Blood clots ?
Did you ever get any answers to you cramping?

November 2018 Sleevers!?!?
18 days post op and still having major soreness in my 2 large incisions. One hurts when I basically do anything, bend, twist ect. The other is just a random sharp burning/pulling pain occasionally. I'm not sure if this is normal to still be having pain [emoji30] These are the 2 main incisions that we're sewn to muscle.

Yeah same here! i am 12 days out haha same if i am sitting still all is fine but man it was definitely more intense than it had been. On of my friends said she had the same issue and was told its just cause your healing. All your nerves are healing which means you will feel more. hoping it doesnt last too long! Luckily Tylenol helps take the edge off

Very common after surgery. Alot of people can't tolerate cold liquids. So room temperature/warm is better. Sometimes our tummy's are just brats [emoji23] Just gotta figure out what goes down best for you.

November 2018 Sleevers!?!?
Thank you. That is the first thing I checked and everything still looks completely normal. No redness, swelling, or drainage. Just pain when stretching, bending, or pushing on them. If I'm just sitting here I have no pain. I just got freaked out cause I woke up and it felt worse than it has. [emoji30]

Hi guys. How long did your incision pain last? I was sleeved 11/21 I tried sleeping more flat last night that I have previously and ended up on my side a few times. This morning I woke up very sore. My 2 big incisions hurt a lot. I haven't taken pain meds in a few days but feel like I might need them today. Did I sleep wrong? How long did your incision pain last? Kind of worried.
