Thank you everyone for your responses! I truly hope I'm not peri-menopausal as I'm only 29 😭 BUT definitely a great thing to look out for. So glad I found this forum!

You are correct in the aspect that pain is relative and different for everyone, but you sound like you will be able to handle this like a boss barring any complications. I, personally, didn't even need anything stronger than Tylenol in the hospital. They gave me oxy to take home and I never once had to touch it or the Tylenol. The most uncomfortable part for me was the bloating from the gas they fill your abdomen with. Once that was gone, the pain was hardly there. Just don't stretch or do anything crazy and you, hopefully, should be just fine. I live in a home with 2 flights of stairs, and aside from being a bit weak and winded I did just fine.

Hi everyone! I am new here, thanks for having me :) I had gastric sleeve surgery on 7.2.25 I was just curious, does anyone experience extreme dry mouth in the mornings when they wake up? I assume its from consuming less liquids, but it is so frustrating to wake up with cotton mouth from hell. I have never experienced this until after surgery. Being 6 weeks out, I just now am getting up to my 64 oz of fluid and will increase as I can. Any suggestions?
