Less than 3 days post op but..



Recommended Posts

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

I Was sleeved on the 12th - just left the hospital a few hours ago. Still sore - I find that walking helps with the pain - must say the first few minutes of walking hurts.

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.

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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
