    I had surgery yesterday and out of 6 incisions only one is killing me. Its the only one that has stitches. Ugh. Only one night in the hospital though so that was nice.

    They didn't give me strong enough pain meds. Liquid vicodin that I can take every 6 hrs. It lasts about an hour. I can't stand up straight to walk.

    I'm 5 days post op& the gas pain is very painful. Even Water hurts going down. I have to sip very small sips. I had my sleeve done in Mexico & just got home yesterday. I did go to Target today & bought gas x chewable pills & Gaviscon.

    The liquid med they gave me in Mexico doesn't seem to be working to good so I hope the Gavviscon helps. I am Able to drink hot tea In the am , aple juice, chicken broth, all ok. not sure why water would hurt.

    Hey there. I've heard that water hurts if it's too cold. Luke warm water might be better?
