I was very unprepared for this pain. I was under the impression it wouldn't be as bad as the c-section I had but that's sooo untrue. At 12 days out is your pain better?

Snow kitten, I was also very unprepared for the pain. I just want to feel better and I did sooooo much research on this surgery so I could make an informed decision. I wish I would have waited a bit longer before I made a decision. I had lost 60 pounds prior to my surgery and was doing well, however my problem was I could never keep it off. I wish I had more will power. I don't know how everyone does it. Maybe when the pain is gone I will feel much differently.

You'll feel better at 2 weeks, even better at 3 weeks and normal by at 1 month. Hang in there! I am almost 10 weeks out and it gets easier every week.

Gas pain an hernia repair was my worse...my tummy no problem. .the hernia repair according to my internists will take months to heal but the esophagus spasms will subside in about a wk. Take ur script painkillers! Ur body needs the rest an u can't get sufficient healing an rest in pain. Keep hydrated as much as possible. My esophagus spasms hurt like heck. By the 6th or so day it was eased a lot. Hang in there new sleevers it gets soo much better! Best decision I ever done for myself besides the breast reduction 15 yrs ago!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
