I had my sleeve done last Friday 10/19. When I got out of the hospital it felt like my pain just keeps getting worse and worse. I found out that they did one of those stitches through my abdominal wall, and I can barely move around because of how much it hurts when pulled. Nobody ever told me I was getting one of those. Whenever my stomach gurgles (kind of like hunger pangs) it lights my entire belly on fire for a few seconds. Meaning I can’t smell food cause I’ll get hungry and the pain will start. Also, TMI, I have this pain from the bottom of my incisions, to the upper pubic area, kind of like my guts, that happens every few hours or so. Most of the time, it usually happens and then I need go to the bathroom (all I have is diarrhea now). It’s a horrible pain, I can’t breath for a few seconds. I’m really regretting having the surgery. I guess I just didn’t realize how much immobilizing pain there’d be? I’ve seen and read about how easy recovery was for others and expected that. I can’t stand how hard this is, I can barely walk. My arm is sore from having to hold my stomach in from where the stitch is at. If I don’t press it in when moving it gives me sharp pains. I’m going to call my doctor tomorrow to see if this is normal. Did anyone else have it this bad?
