Hey all. I'm on my third day post op and I have two questions. One, how much pain were you all still in on your third day? My smaller incisions aren't so painful anymore, but the one where my stomach came out is still tender when I get up our lady down. I'm trying not to take the narcos bc I don't want to. And second, how long before you had a bowel movement? Like I said, I'm the days out from being sleeved, and I still have not had one. Thanks for your advice in advance.

Took me 16 days for first bowel movement. And the pain from the main incision went away after another week

Ask your doc what you can take now to keep things moving. Even when you don't eat much, the body keeps making waste. That waste needs to get outa there! (At least a couple times a week.)

Enemas help in the short term while waiting for oral stuff to make its way through.

Good luck!

Senokot-s. That's what my surgeons office recommended

Thanks all
