I've read that after sleeve surgery you don't have to have much pain med. .....tarodol which isn't a narcotic is what most say they are given. Is it the same with a revision?

I would think after removing the band and port plus any adhesions you would have quite a bit of pain for 3-4 days. Can anyone give me their experiences?

Thank you

I had my band removed and revision in two separate surgeries. The band removal was a breeze. I think I took one dose of Percocet the night of surgery and that was it. The sleeve revision was not much worse and the surgeon said I had a bunch of adhesions. The original band surgery was by far the worst of the three but less of a recovery than my c-section. I'm pretty sure most revision patients will tell you that the sleeve is so much better than the band. You'll do great. Good luck!

I think it is really individual. I had very little pain with my band surgery, and less with my revision. I used 1 dose from my PCA, and never filled my Rx for oxycodone. I did get toradol and IV Tylenol in the hospital. I stayed 1 night. HTH.

I had my revision done Monday the 28th. The band procedure was lil to no pain. The revision was a lot more painful, but not due to the incisions but because of the gas they fill us up with. I certainly did use the PCA and was also getting the taradol. Right now I'm on the Vicodin every 4 hours. But it's getting better.
