I was sleeve 2/17/17 how long will this pain last I'm taking pain meds every 6 hrs faithfully it hurts so bad I can barely take it but I fight threw it and walk up and down my hallway I rub my belly i try sitting a certain way or laying a certain way I'm not getting any sleep any suggestions

Its only been a couple of days. Just remember that your body has been through a massive operation and although some people don't have a lot of pain afterwards, some do. Hope you feels better soon and congratulations!!

Thanks I know it takes patience I gotta learn to let go I'm so used to being in control lol

Make sure you're walking around, too! A lot of the pain I had post surgery was actually gas pain -- and walking around made it so I burped and farted and felt soooooooooooo much better!!

Yeah I'm tryin to walk as much as possible I feel as if it's gas pains as well so I'm moving thanks

Get moving walk that hallway! It's gas, when I got home to my own room I was able to open my legs and really let it rip! And god bless that I've with fluids, getting my water in as well as protein has been a pisser! I got sleeved 2/1

Thanks sweetheart I've been walking as much as I can doesn't help that I get dizzy after a while but I'll get it together

My doc said take milk of magnesia or merilax to help get the gas out

Literally day by day gets better and bettter and then u dont even no when it stops hurting ur doin good give time

I have pain( not from the surgery) but I take liquid Tylenol pm (generic) helps me sleep

It's been a few days, be patient and walk, walk, walk. I took my med every time I thought I had a pain, just take it moderately, please don't get dependent on them.
