Had my surgery march 6!



Recommended Posts

So had my surgery march 6 i was in horrendous pain it was intolerable! I am now 5 days post op everyone says it get better by the 7th or 8th day but I'm like this is depressing! I am walking like a robot. I got staples in on my stomach which hurt so I'm afraid it's going to hurt coming out! I'm afraid to sleep I got so many fears that I need reassurance for! I go see my surgeon march 14 to see if my incisions are healed well enough where he can remove the staples!! Yay and na! Yay cause I wouldn't have to worry about it. And na cause I need honest opinions do it hurt getting them removed! Cause I'm a wimp can't take much more pain forreal! My three year old wants me to hold him and I can't breaks my heart but yes I've made it. Just need advice please!

Hang in there... it does get better. Everyone handles surgery differently. I too am a big baby when it comes to pain, I cannot tolerate pain what so ever. I did very well on the post op healing, I did not have staples or sutures I just had the steri-strips to hold the incisions closed. My sister had the staples and she said they were very uncomfortable and they did hurt when they were removed.

The only advise I can give you is get up and move around, that will eliminate the very paiful gas and the quicker you get up and back to your routine the quicker you heal. Take your pain meds as directed and move around. Good luck.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
