Gastric Sleeve Surgery is it painful?
It depends on who you are and your pain tolerance level. I hurt for about a month took lots of pain meds prescribed by the doc and a lot of antacids. I did not feel like myself till about six months later. It just all depends every person's experience is different. But it was well worth it!!!!!

Struggling 4 Days Out
The first few weeks are the worst. I remember laying in the hospital bed in pain. It does get better. I am two years out and there are still foods that I miss eating. I would love to eat a piece of fried chicken or a hamburger with tater tots. After the surgery, my body does not like those types of foods anymore. It has been a hard journey but I am much healthier and happier than I have ever been in my whole life. I am able to walk without pain in my knees and I can move around a lot better now.

Has anyone kept their surgery a secret?
The only one that knows is my husband. I did not tell anyone else. I needed to deal with my own emotions and not with everyone's emotions. Their opinions, what they think, etc......

Afraid that I'm going to let fear of pain prevent me from going through with surgery
Pain lasts for a little while. It rises and falls like the sun. It comes and goes like the seasons. Don't let it scare you. Sent from my Z955L using BariatricPal mobile app
