March 30th sleevers our there?

[PaulDaniel 23]

I got one too. Took it off yesterday morning and haven't worn it since. Still have pain in abdomen at incision sites. The Hydrocodone gives me some real whacky dreams

[Lori222 13]

Yes I am still very sore too.

I was sleeved on the 29th. I don't do good with pain meds so I opted out of them from the beginning. I'm doing pretty well so far. Mild pain with a lot of activity. Finally starting to see some better results getting more Protein and liquids down. I've had a bit of heartburn from cold drinks. The great thing about no meds is I've been very regular since leaving the hospital.

I tried just Tylenol for 3 days but was pretty miserable. Started back on tramadol today and had more energy.

I am feeling great! Very little pain and down 13 lbs since surgery on the 29th. Purée foods I can only handle about 2-4 bites but everyday things are getting easier.

Is anyone still having muscle spasms/Charlie horse cramps on right side of abdomen? I can not sit in a sitting position without getting them. I'm 2.5 weeks out of surgery and the incision is healed, hard but not sore. I can only stand or lay to be comfortable. Any thoughts?

I have the same issue with my left side hurting really bad it's healed up but it's still very painful especially getting in out of the car. My surgeon said it is normal and will go away in time

[jabraham 74]

I have pulling and pain on the main site. My surgeon said it was part of the healing process. The more you do the less you notice or start to get used to it. If I stay busy I hardly notice it. When I'm sitting or when I first wake up is when it is the worst.

Well hopefully it goes away sooner than later. I find that I can't sleep on my left side because it causes cramps on my right side.

I too still cannot sleep on my side yet. Which is hard because I'm used to sleeping on my left side. So for the past month I've had to sleep on my back. The worst for me is bending down or leaning over or getting into and out of my truck. It also hurts when I have to wear all my gear for work

Yes bending down to tie my shoes is a killer, especially right side. Paul what do you do that you wear gear? How soon did you go back?

State police officer/game warden/marine patrol. I went back to work after 12 days. Was still tender though

Gosh I can't imagine feeling up to going back to work that soon, let alone the gear. No wonder your tender getting in and out of car with the gear on. I commend you for toughing it out.

Hi Paul Dean.. I'm in Jax as well. Looks like we have the same surgery date and the same dr. So funny. We were at.the hospital at the same time. My surgery was at 9:15.

This pulling pain in my left side is the worst. I was sopposed to go back to work today but decided to stay home another week. If I sneeze I will involuntary scream which I can't do at my job. I might scare my Co workers at Bank of America lol

Dr Hodgett says it's NJ oral and will go away. But I just don't know what to do to help the healing process along faster.
