I got my sleeve on Monday, came home Wednesday and things have been great. I even met my Fluid intake of 64 oz. today!
I have some pain, but it's manageable. It's mostly right in the center of my chest and in my incisions. I'm pretty sure the pain in my chest is from the hernia repair. It is not a constant pain, it only hurts with certain movements and if I take a *really* deep breath. I'm still using the incentive spirometer, and when I reach the top it hurts. Is it possible that the pain is from the hernia repair? It's definitely not the stomach, it's in the wrong spot.
