I was just sleeved yesterday and came home today. I am having a fair amount of suture pain, which was to be expected, which gets better with the Hydrocodone/acetaminophen that they gave me.

Two questions for those experienced sleevers:'

How long did your suture pain last?

Second, and more importantly, did you have any stomach pains post surgery? I've not overfilled my sleeve yet (just really drinking a little Water and had a spoonful of sugar free Jello) but it seems to react somewhat painfully even with just a sip of water. The pain meds don't seem to do much for this. If you had this also how long did it last?

I'm beginning to wonder if the stomach pains could be caused by acid. I took my PPI this morning but may need a split dose.

I didn't have any suture pain, but Frankensleeve did cause me quite a bit of pain when I ate or drank for about 8 days.

Then things seemed to get waaaaaayyyyyy better!

I still had to put up with his tantrums when it came to foods he didn't like, but it wasn't painful, just lots of growls, twisting and gas! :-P
