I'm still in some pain from my incisions and I had surgery 9/19. It is not unusual at all. I can't imagine going back to work three days after, is there a way you can take more time off?

I am in my 4th day post-op from the sleeve and also have quite a bit of pain in my larger incision. I think that's not uncommon, but if it feels warm, becomes red, or you get a fever you should seek medical attention ASAP.

The pain isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but it is still there -- especially if I am not careful about how I sit down and get up.

My biggest issue is that I get really tired pretty easily, but even that isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I can't imagine going back to work right now. I am not going back for another month plus. It's a full-time job keeping up with what I need to do to be successful (fluids and protein), walking, and keeping up all of these appointments.

I went back to work after four weeks and still had a little pain when I sneezed. Please don't rush your recovery. This is major surgery.

I had the same pain. It hurt so bad to move or roll over. It was scary and I thought something was wrong, but it goes away. Mine lasted about two weeks.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
