I am in severe pain, but they said it would hurt worse since I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repair. I can sip my Water fine.. But I get a sever sharp pain afterward. The gas pain is hell too! I have 9 surgical areas and all but 1 of the sights have 2 staples each, but one had 4 staples and another has my jp drain in it.

Oh wow, that's a lot of work in one surgery. But also nice to get it all taken care of at once. I'm not looking forward to the gas pain. I was fortunate enough not to deal with it, when I had laparoscopic surgery before.

How long do you have to have the drain?... Staples. I thought they just stitched you up..... Are you home yet? sorry for all the questions. Probably not what you want to deal with right now.

Rest, walk, rest, walk and rest some more.. lol. But really, I hope you are doing and feeling better than yesterday.

It was a lot of work for one time, and I think it is slowing my healing time, and definitely increasing my pain. Usually this surgeon dermabondS your op sights.. But I have a crap ton of staples. I do still have my drain and it's still draining but hopefully he will pull it today and let me go home, but it's possible he won't with me unable to tolerate liquid.

I also have morphjne, dilaudid, and hydrocodone Syrup. I almost vomit every time I try to take it. So that's not cook!

I actually just walked... It is nice to move around

I am doing a lot better, thank you. :)

I'm still healing and sore, but each day gets better and better! The protonix did the trick with the mid epigastric pain I was having, and the other pain is just normal surgical stuff. Ready to get well and start working out!! ????

I was stuck with the JP drain for 6 months after a colon resection (sp) last dec. I understand the pain. Good luck and my prayers are with you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
