Monday at noon I got sleeved, I was shocked at how much pain I was in when I woke up. The surgeon described it as a few days of being uncomfortable but this was torture. The pain stayed at a 10 for a long time on day three it settled to a five and now I am home and the pain is mostly an annoyance. I'm having trouble getting all my water down, hopefully I won't regret this surgery. I look forward to reading your posts for motivation and support.

I didn't have any pain at all, and was up walking within a few hours, and shopping in two days, everyone is different. I was sleeved on Sept 14, 2014 and I still only get maybe 10-20 oz of Water in (I'm drinking ice tea), it's hard to drink when your not thirsty and you can only sip. It's a full time job trying to get it in, but keep at it, it's been just as difficult to get the Protein in for me.

I was told.the pain was the equivalent of my gall bladder surgery. That was bull. I was in pretty severe pain on my right side when I woke up and was until I got my morphine pump Once I had that, the pain was was totally tolerable even after I got home. Everyone is different!

@@Babbs I completely agree. My gallbladder surgery was a walk in the park and this was nothing in comparison. I was dressed and home an hour after waking up from my gallbladder surgery and never took any pain medication. I believe I had lots of morphine on the day of the sleeve surgery and needed pain meds for a few days after.

What's nice though is the hardest part is over. I still have some incision site discomfort and weakness but it's minimal. The only thing I'm afraid of now is throwing up from overeating.
