    I'm two weeks post-op and completely understand where you're coming from. I'm just now starting to feel semi-normal. I've regretted my decision too and have had some bad days. Was in a lot of pain the first week too. I've also had a hard time getting all the liquids down and the Protein Shakes. Still haven't met my goal for either. I've been exhausted from lack of food. But I'm hoping things are starting to look up. I get to start pureed foods tomorrow and my energy level is getting better. I agree with the post above that mentioned the bad parts of this surgery are kind of glossed over. I didn't expect it to be this hard. But we'll get through it!

    Thank you for responding. It is nice to hear someone being honest about their experience. I feel like that most people get blinded about the pending weight loss that they forget or just don't address the other issues that no one seems to talk about. I too am hopeful about losing the weight. My reasons and story are different than most in the site. I have a 1 year old that I want to enjoy and play with but my severe back problems kept me from doing so. I made the decision to have WLS to help my back so I could have a better quality of life and enjoy my baby. My post surgery story as I mentioned were far from a better quality of life. I hope that your recovery gets better every day as well. Please keep me updated o. Your progress. I hope that we both can move forward in a better physical direction. Take care.

    I had my gastric sleeve surgery Monday May 14th. I have been having multiple issues that everyone that I've spoken to say is normal but needed to know that it isn't just me. I have nausea which is varies in extremes. Sipping my liquids seems to cause a great deal of gas pain which my surgeon said to use chewable gas x. It helps a little. To make things worse, I have internal pain and incision pain. I am fortunate to have a nurse come to my house and the incisions are healing fine but the sharp burning pains especially when moving are horrible. I typically have extremely high pain tolerance as I've have back surgery and handled that fine. Is anyone going through this le pen el of discomfort or am I the only one? Right now I am hating my decision to get the surgery. I have an awesome surgeon and everyone that I have talked to say it will pass...but when. Would be great to know I'm not going crazy or going through it alone.

    You are not alone. I am 26days post op and having incisional pain as well. It is getting better day by day, but if I move or twist the wrong way it sure makes itself known! My surgeon also said it would go away by 6 weeks post op. As far as the gas, I still have that problem too. I figured I was drinking too fast or something, surgeon didnt have any insight into this. I use the dissolvable gas-x strips because the chewable make me nauseated. I hope yours gets better soon, and at least now I know I am not alone either!
