    Hi girls, just a quick note to say that the first few weeks are the worst but it does get better every day. Keep walking and sipping and things will improve. Abdominal pain is totally normal and is ca

  • Sorry to hear your having such a hard time.. I was also sleeved on 12-12 and my Dr has me on Clear Liquids until 5 days post op at which point I start the full liquids stage which would include Protei

Not really sure. I am 9 days post op and just weening off the advil. I can now get out of bed with ease, sleep on my side/stomach, get up off the couch and floor without much pain. I hope you find relief soon. The heating pack has been a great help for me. I put it any where that is hurting.

Wishing You Wellness,

Sannah

Thank you Sannah and Ms. Cali. I was sleeved on 12/12. I know everyone is different but I just wanted to a idea of what others were going through. If it wasn't for percocet, Idk how I could deal with it. I just gotta remind myself I can't rush the healing process.

What ever you do dear lord do not try and sleep in a high bed lol. My 5yr old always sneaks into bed with me when my fiancé is on duty. He did not like the idea that need to sleep on the recliner, so being the softy that I am let him sleep in my room, was a B to climb in it, it hurt. Well then it was time to take my pain meds.... I was a turtle on my back, almost had to wake him or call my sister to come over, but finally slid to edge to grab nightstand and roll. Talk about pain! Don't know if my son crowing in labor or that was worse pain lol!

I wanna say surgery Monday, pain till about Thursday night. Today other then the bed thing abdominal pains were gone. Just tender.

I was also sleeved 12/12 I am trying to keep my fluids up... I am waiting for the bloating and tenderness to go away.

I was sleeved 12-11 and I'm still having a lot of abdominal discomfort too. :( I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow!\

Sleeved on 12/11, check in Tuesday & check out Thursday. Wondering why I didn't get checked for leakage? Anyone else experience intense hunger pains (stomach growling) each time I sip on water? Really don't feel like I am eating enough but isn't that the purpose???!!??

Hi,

I had mine done on 12/11 and I'm experiencing now a lot of grumbling and growling from stomach. I'm not hungry. Slight headache but gone within an hour. Is this normal the growling?

This is probably all gas and not hunger. Your stomach will make all kinds of sounds you've never heard before!

I'm having a ton of gas (sleeved 12-11) but I am definitely not hungry. I am still having alot of pain with swallowing in my chest, anyone else?

I was sleeved on 12/13 and have the stomach growling as well, it appears to me that it is the gas from surgery trying to get out. I am getting a spasm when i swallow that is not very comfortable but it ends very quickly. i am having trouble getting in all of my liquid protein, it is not easy to get down i have been sipping on water when i am awake and walking laps in the house. the pain, (i feel guilty to say) is almost gone completely

Mine was in my upper chest but went away. I was sleeved 12/11. I tried some cream of mushroom soup a few teaspoons. Went down ok. But not hungry. Sipping more water.

I've decided that they give pain meds for a reason...so I'm going to start taking them again. :)
