Hi Im 23 and scheduled to be sleeved April 25th.. pre oppers was the pain awful when waking? That's my WORST fear

I remember that when I woke up, they asked me if I felt pain and I said "yes" but honestly don't even know if it was true! If so, I have no recollection of it now. The pain was there I guess, but totally manageable. You sort of get a warning from your body, and when you do, you press the button for meds and then it goes away. I only had/needed that for 2 days, then just switched to the non-narcotic pain pills they gave me. The second night I woke up with shoulder pain from the gas and had to walk and have someone pound on my back. That was only uncomfortable night really. After day 4, Tylenol was all I needed.

I'm 10 months out now and really the only pain I actually remember was that it really hurt to laugh! But I was laughing a lot, so what does that tell you?
