Hi, from what I understand, everyone feels pain or discomfort. I had my sleeve on 12/30/14. my experience was five days out, I was still sore, but not enough to need anything more than Tylenol. I think it hurt more emotionally when I found out that I couldn't do sit- ups for a few weeks!

I hope that you are going to have the same experience.

I am 2 weeks post op, VGS, and I still have sore muscles and can't sleep in a bed laying flat. I also had a small hernia repair. I'm thinking that is were most of my pain is coming from..

Well I'm 3 weeks post op. I still have some pain, but each day it does get better.

I am 4 weeks post-op. I never had pain or discomfort from my incisions. I did have terrible gas and spasms until my first BMvmt 4 days after surgery. After that it's been hit and miss with the spasms. Had some issues with artificial sweeteners, but things are finally looking up!

Hang in there!

That's all awesome to hear...today is day 3 I'm still sore and in pain. The medicine they make us take is horrible!!! I've been extremely sleepy..is that normal.

[newrose2427 30]

Yes sleepiness is normal. You just had a major surgery! Plus the pain meds.. It'll take a few days for the anesthesia to wear off. It's ok to feel sleepy for even a couple of weeks as your body heals itself. I'm having to take a nap in afternoons if I have allot that I have to take care of. But every day does get easier..

Oh that's good to know..I didn't know I still had anesthesia in me. That makes sense. I'm extremely tired. Today I woke up at 8 had half an Oz of lemonade and walked took my meds and went back to sleep until 1230:/

@@changes1 I am 4 weeks out and am still suffering total exhaustion whether I am active or not. Called the nurse today and she said to drink G2 Gatorade and eat fruit. Ok, I'll do that, but I'm going to see my family doctor if I am not feeling better tomorrow. This is getting scary.

Omg I hope u feel better. Definitely see ur family doctor. Could u be dehydrated?

You have lost a large amount of weight very fast in addition to eating very little. Even with all the Vitamins and Protein, people can become like you. Someone in my support group complained about the same problem, the moderator suggested that if every instruction was being followed it should pass within a couple of weeks. The Moderator also suggested her following up with her Doctor. So...call and yes you are doing the right thing. Oh, and congratulations on your weight loss!

I had my sleeve on 3/23 and came home yesterday. A little sore last night. Gassy. Burpy. But overall okay. Could not wait to get out of that hospital. Eating and drinking is still interesting. To say the least. :-)
