I was sleeved on Friday 9/28. I am so surprised about the recovery. I've had 3 c-sections so I thought this would be a walk in the park compared to that. But this surgery is kicking my butt. My bruising on my stomach looks like I was beaten. The largest hole (on the right side) is so sore. I can't stand my shirt to touch my skin. My sorness is much better but I still have a lot of pain as the day goes on. Is this normal. I read where people were fine after 3 or 4 days. I'm dizzy, hungry, and so tired all the time.... help.

I have terrible bruising but not pain associated with it. I think it is hard because everyone has a different pain tolerance. 4 days out is totally within normal range to be uncomfortable. Did you continue pain meds at home? Prilosec or the like?

gas/acid felt exactly like hunger pains to me. To the point I couldn't believe it was that. I could burp it away momentarily though. Prilosec saved my life. I was going insane.

I can't address many of your questions other than that you will feel week for awhile. At least that's what my NUT & someone I know who had the sleeve done told me. I think the pain depends on the person?? If you're really concerned, please call your Doc. Good luck & I hope you get more answeres to this....I'll pray for you. Hang in there as best you can!

Hawkyhoops, How are you? Looks like you had some major bleeding? Oh my gosh! I hope you're better now!

I'm 8 days post op and the soreness gets better. My biggest issues is the acid reflux. Omg, it's horrible

I'm so sorry! There is a gal on here called "littlemissdiva" (or lilmissdiva) she has some wonderful tips & is very encouraging. She's one year out with her sleeve and doing awesome! She checks in on this site every day. Try connecting with her....I believe you'll be glad you did!
