Congrats on your surgery! I am sorry you are in pain. I didnt have a lot of pain after surgery. I was hospitalized for two days and on morphine pump for surgery day and the next. They took it out the second day and sent me home with lortab liquid and phenergan. I never took it. I was only sore, no real pain that required meds. It does get a lot easier to get up and down in the days to come.. did your dr give you pain meds? Tylenol easy tabs work well also.

I am a little over three weeks out, and my left side still hurts some at night when I turn to my left. That's the side that takes all the punishment. Take the meds you need and rest as much as you can. I never had pain radiating to my back. Are you taking GasX? Helps a lot.

I started gas ex last night. It hurts getting up and down still! The dr said she had to cut my abdominal muscle. They have me on a muscle relaxer and percaset ( cant spell) my husband says its a strong pain killer. My incision sites dont hurt at all, its just the whole left side when I move. Whenever i get up to pee i walk around. I hope it heals soon so I can start to enjoy my new life! Thanks for the replies!

Hi,

I had my surgery on 8/8/11 and I still have pain on my left side. I guess we all heal at different rates. I hope you feel better soon.

I haven't felt much pain at all. Are your incisions lower or higher on your belly? Mine are way up high. I wonder if that means they didn't have to cut through muscle?

I had surgery on 7/19 and the pain lasted 2 weeks and I was very tired when I went back to work 2 weeks post-op.

the pain was from the lower left side, right? Mine is hurting so bad, especially if i sit for a while then try to stand or sit. My incision sites dont hurt at all! Just where they cut the muscle. It even hurts around my side to my left side back. I really hope it gets beeter soon!! Thanks for your reply!

Yes, it felt like someone was pulling on my insides. Also, I would have pain if I sat for awhile or walked to much. 2 weeks ago my family and i went on vacation to San Fransico. I walked so much and was very sore in the evening but it was the best thing i could have done. I feel back to my energized self minus the over eating.lol It gets so much better...I fell 100% better.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
