I still feel awful, I can do anything but take pain meds and sleep. I have diaherra and gas. I feel like I have made a horrible mistake. I suppose to go back to work on the 7th and I can't even hold my head up for very long. My husband had the d switch surgery on the same day and we are both not doing as well as I think we should

Have you been checking in with your doctor? Maybe the pain meds are adding to your symptoms. I've had fleeting moments of thinking "OMG - What the hell did I do", but it passes (like the gas ). All the good things will outweight the bad. Just give it time and check in with your DR!.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

I was sleeved on the 26th! I was bad for two days in the hospital, no pain minimal gas, just throwing up bc the meds didn't sit well with me. He changed them all and I'm good. Ill be honest I'm weak bc I can't drink all of my Protein.

Are you in pain? Or throwing up? Or both? the meds could be keeping you from healing quicker bc your bodies don't like them. Either way, is push back going in on the 7th, mentally I'm struggling bc I have to wait till fri for full liquids. I pray you both heal quickly and I promise you I was crying the other day, what did I do to myself. I don't say that anymore!!! Look into getting different medication please!

Well I was just sleeved on December 28th, and I have to say, the first two days were awful. But you know, the third day was like so much better.

I agree with others on here who said that maybe getting off the meds would help. I really have not had any pain meds since Saturday (postop day one).

Once I went off all the narcotics, my nausea was so much better. I guess I just cant take narcotic pain meds. Same thing happened with morphine after a back surgery.

Hope you feel better.

Was sleeved on dec 27. The first two days I spent in the hospital because they have better pain meds. After I left, there was pain but not as much. Zofran works really well for nausea. While I was in the hospital I asked for a gas-x and the nurse told me not to take it and just let the gas out naturally because gas-ex just suppresses it and doesn't get it out like it should. What helped me a lot was walking every few hours and get the gas out. I hope you feel better. Everyone's experience is different . It will get better, just remember why you got it done. This part is only temporary.
