  1. So I had gastric sleeve surgery on 11/3 of this year so almost at a week now. However, the pain hasn’t really been any better. The main source of the pain is the dent you’re left with after the surgery (on the right side). I haven’t really had any gas pain and I lost like 8-9kg(17-19 pounds). Without any nausea (only on the first day) or much of everything else the surgery is associated with. Everytime I move that place where the dent is hurts a lot, and I can barely even stand up straight for more then a few minutes without feeling like my insides are gonna pop out, and I have to hold my stomach (the area where the dent is) to stop it hurting faster. I’ve been moving around a few times a few minutes a day. Cause I can barely walk for 5 minutes straight. Sleeping hasn’t been any better also. I’m mostly a side and a stomach sleeper. Sleeping on the back is annoying, I can try to sleep on the left side, but I have to hold on my blanket to my stomach to stop it from hurting and the feeling of moving around. Can anyone help? Thanks

    When does the pain stop?

    They didn’t give me any pain killers. My doctor told me that if there is any pain Panadol works for this, but I haven’t taken it yet, cause I don’t know how it would react. I am taking two other pills right now to prevent nausea (for maybe two more days).

    Thanks, for your answers. I ended up buying a body pillow, so hopefully it will help me sleep better and more at ease. I’ll try to go with the pain for now and I guess not move around too much, and hopefully it will go away soon.

    My follow up isn’t until the 27th. What I mean of the dent/hole is the cut where they took the stomach out. They told me in the hospital that the reason for it is internal incisions. They said it would get better in a few days. It kind of has (the pain), however, standing and moving around hasn’t gotten any better since I left the hospital.
