I was sleeved offically at 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Yay! I haven't had may problems just so, so sore. I got some pain medicine, but when does it get better? Thanks for your help in advance.

Actually, I don't remember being sore at all. The only time I took pain medicine was the first couple of days to help me sleep at night. Try a heating pad on your tummy, that worked really well.

It does get better each day. My surgery was Sept 9th and it seems each day get SO much better. Hang in there!!!

Day 2 is bad.....and slowly gets better after that, as long as you don't push things too hard (and you'll know it quickly). You might have a few small set backs, but take it easy for the rest of that day (no using stomach muscles) and it will be better again by the next day.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I probably need to take it a little slower. I'm laying in bed with an ice pack on the incision. Everyone day it does get a little better.

Thanks again!
