Was Sleeved on Monday. I had single incision done. None of the pain meds they have given me have worked. I had to go see my surgeon today for wk after check up and He gave me a stronger narcotic that my insurance is dragging their feet approving and in the mean time. I am miserable. I have only been able to take down about 50 oz of Water since surgery. I wish this pain period would hurry up and pass. How long was it for you?

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. I went through it too. I started hiccuping the day after surgery and stretched my staples. I was hurting for 5 days and then the pain started fading. I didn't take any meds, the liquid pain killer made me want to retch. :-P

Yes, the liquid pain meds are so awful. I have extreme gerd/reflux and the GI cocktail made my throat feel like it was closing up. I have bad asthma so that experience scared the heck out of me. I can't use that stuff again. So right now I'm just ice packs and maylox.

I didn't have a lot of pain. The tablets took care of it for me. I hope this passes soon for you! (I had 5 incisions but they had to check my liver too)

I had 5 incisions also but no very little pain. In the hospital I was on iv pain meds. At home, they prescribed liquid pain med. Be careful with that stuff, it can cause SEVERE Constipation. Just remember, "this too shall pass." Good luck to you.

I had 5 incisions and the pain was pretty bad for a week then it got better fairly quickly. Hang in there ,, you can do it. Just a few more days and it won't be as bad and you're eating progresses. Lots of good stuff for your future,, you an do it.

I had surgery Monday and had severe nausea since. Today I feel I might get threw this. Not what I expected. But nothing ever is. I hope you feel better soon. Lucky you only one hole. I have six. But I had alot of scar tissue removed from old gall bladder surgery.

Thanks everyone! I just picked up my pain meds. I paid out of pocket no way I'm waiting the whole weekend for the insurance company to contact the doctor. I wish I could stop taking all others but I need Tylenol too, I spike a fever every night on top of the pain.

Luckily, I got one incision and they did it directly in my belly button so no scars to be seen, so hopefully this pain will pass soon and I will be good to go. Unfortunately, my grandfather is in his last days in the hospital and I have to just fight through this pain to get up there to see him or I will always regret it if I miss saying my goodbyes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
