I just got sleeved on Monday 4/23. I was expecting this to hurt but this is awful. Plus none of the pain killers at at the hospital worked ..how long till the pain goes away?

Im sorry you are hurting... I didnt have much pain. I didnt have to take any pain meds once I was home. Maybe you should call your doctor if you are in intense pain.

Yes make the doctor aware. If it is gas the only thing to really stop it is the walking, because it is accompanied by presure.

Try a liquid pain med...it worked better for me.

Did you do the barium swallow?

Good luck.

Maybe it's just because I'm a wimp, but I think I would be one hell of a squeaky wheel if I was under a ton of pain after the surgery and none of the meds were working. I mean, sure, there will be pain--it's a major operation--but you shouldn't be in that much pain that you feel it's excruciating or something.

There are plenty of different pain killers out there. I'd definitely be on the horn to the surgeon and asking for something different. They really don't want you in a ton of pain. People recover better if they have their pain under control and are able to move around and do their walking to relieve the pain, etc.

Surgery-related pain should be tolerable VERY soon. Most of the discomfort I had came from over eating and/or gas... they can be miserable. Pamper your sleeve and don't push it. If your surgical pain persists, talk to your surgeon asap. I hope you feel better.

Thanks guys!..I just had my pain Meds and I feel a little better..I think im just really sore

what are you taking for the pain?

I was given liquid Tylenol with codeine..its pretty ok..im having a hard time drinking the isopure but im good with water broth and icepops

I hope you feel better!

I had my sleeve on Tuesday, felt lousy until this morning, they let me go home as soon as I looked and felt decent. My source of pain is the gas, yipes and when I hiccup, that's really painful!! Other than that Im feeling good.

broth was soooo good! Jello was nice too!

Hang in there, I hear it gets better every day

Oh Urban we r n the exact same boat. I was sleeved Mon too n I'm n pain also. Especially when I cough. Dear God it hurts. Not doing so well in the protein dept but concentrating on liquids. I'll b glad when this passes. I can't even walk as much as I know I should b.

Pain...I had it for 5 weeks. It wasn't fun. My pain was from the incisions.

I had my surgery April 18th and I'm still in pain/sore, but no where near the pain I was in right after surgery. I am mostly in pain from my incisions and my back is pretty sore , but I think that is from sleeping in the chair. Last night was the first night I was able to sleep in my bed, I woke up a little sore, but after walking I felt better. It does get better except slowly.

I just got out of hospital today it's a rough ride that's for sure

I was sleeved on Monday as well and I can say that its improving but I'm still extremely slow moving and slow recovering. You all are so lucky to be on broth and jello I only get water (bleh) apple juice and tea...

So I took prilosec and I felt 100x better. Unfortunately I started itching like crazy. It never use to make me do that..is this normal?

Hi everyone just had my sleeve on April 24. Pain not bad mostly in the shoulder neck area..but I do have acid reflex..can I take something for it?
