I had my gallbladder removed at the same time. I was told I would be sore on both sides (which I was) I stayed 3 days in hospital which was cause I had my gallbladder removed. Most people stay only 1 night. You will do fine.

I just had my sleeve, and gall bladder removed on the 22nd of Oct and on the 3rd day I was released and went shopping. The day of surgery and the day after surgery I only felt achy across my back. I brought a heating pad with me and that really helped, I just put it on low and layed on it...soothing to the back!

Good luck with your upcoming Surgery!!!

i had my gallbladder removed years ago..i was released the same day. I was a little loopy for a couple days but wasn't in any pain. Energy was back within a week and it was like i had nothing done. Everyone is different but i wouldn't compare it at all to this surgery...if anything its a lot easier.

I too had my gallbladder removed years ago. I don't remember how I felt then. I didnot have pain with my sleeve surgery just nausea.

Good luck on your journey. You will have good days and bad. Not pain related though!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
