i was in the hospital with the sleeve, 8 hours outpatient. I took one pain pill at home. They do warn you not to lift anything for a few days.

    I did, 12 days ago along with my gallbladder and sleeve. It does take alittle more time to get back into the swing of things. Watch how u bend and pick things up

    I had my hernia repair and sleeve surgery monday the 24th. The air bubbles seem to want to go right to the hernia site. They sit there and are very painful. I get up to walk to get them to move around and out. Right now i barely notice sleeve surgery just hernia. Its super tight and full of air.

    I did, as well. For me, it was a difficult recovery for the first 5 days after surgery. I could barely drink anything. My throat was very sore as I developed really bad acid. I'm still dealing with the acid and my voice has not returned to normal. The pain is much better, and I'm able to drink now. So, it's getting better.

    Hey! I had a three as well on 10/10. Took me three weeks to heal to the point I can get back to working. I had to get extra pain meds and felt my recovery took so much longer than other folks talk about here. I still can't do everything yet.

    How are you feeling? Any nausea, trouble eating?
