So I got sleeved on 4/7/2015. Not sure if I've seen people talk about how truly painful this can be. The afternoon it was done and the next morning I was in a lot of pain and really didn't want to move. I must admit the nausea was terrible. On the afternoon of 4/8 things were looking much better for me. Although my main issue is skill having difficulty drinking. Even sipping it is hard. Is this normal? Also the top of my thighs are sore, has anyone experienced this??

@@dmarieharper sore thighs have they been giving u blood thinner injections? I had them in my thigh had bruises or weeks could be from that yes it's pretty painful for a few days more the gas pain then surgical pain it goes away it was brutal at first and yes the sipping will be very small probably for a few weeks it does get better it won't seem like it but it will swallowing can hurt too for me water tasted like metal for five weeks can't stand artificial sweeteners either warm tea broth etc went down better for me then cold drinks hope this helps

yes, it can be a challenge. i actually had a difficult recovery with complications (see previous posts if you wish). it gets better and you can try water at room temp., sometimes if it is too cold it can cause pain, for me, due to my inability to have any fluids orally for weeks, I can only drink water with a ton of ice in it and yes, it does cause spasms sometimes but it is the only way for for me and I really love water, always have been a water drinker. So, now check for lovenox injections sites - bruises, etc on your thighs. also, referred pain is often the culprit but in your case I bet just sore muscles. hang in there. hope you feel better!!
