For those who were sleeved before me did you have the pain I'm having from retaining fluid like I'm having when attempting to stand? I was told this could last 4-6 weeks. I hope not. I return to work in 2 weeks.

Congrats on your surgery.

I did not experience what you're referring to. Be sure you talk it over with your doc if you can.

I'm having pain on my left side in the my stomach. Can't sleep in my bed yet or on my side. Don't know if it's my muscles. If I push on my abdomen over there it hurts. I was sleeved the same day you were. Do you have that problem?

I was just able to ly on my right side, but not for very long. I have slept on my back, but since surgery I have to. I have pain mostly on my right side. They said that's where the fluid is. Idk I'm a little frustrated.

It took forever before I could sleep in my left side! I was able to sleep in my right with a long body pillow and on my left with a small square pillow.

I still sleep with both now and also a husband pillow that props me up a little. It helped in the beginning to take some of the pain meds right before bed to take care of the discomfort.
