Curious About Pain?



Recommended Posts

I've had my fair share of surgeries and am no stranger to post operative pain. What I'm wondering is how the pain and recovery for the sleeve compares to a complete hysterectomy. I didn't love the recovery but it wasn't to bad so I'm hoping it is comparable or less. Has anyone out there had a sleeve and a hysterectomy? How do they compare?

Id like to know the same thing........I had no pain except when I woke up and they were taking me to my room, as soon as they could I was on morhpine, kept on top of it. Never ever felt anything after that. I'm hoping thats how it will be when I get sleeved.......

I had no pain. I used the morphine pump anyways because I just wanted to sleep. It was a little painful getting up and down though but that was because of the incision sites and the cutting of my muscles. I had 6. :)

I have had both and have had almost no pain with the sleeve. 1st couple of days in the hospital I did use the morphine pump but I think the pain was more from trying to get in and out of bed than the actual surgery. Once home i didn't need it anymore.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
