Hello everyone! My surgery was August 25. There were no complications and I'm excited to be home. The big challenge for me so far has been burning and stinging on my abdominal skin. Tender to the touch and then it feels like it's on fire. Anyone else experience this? I'm finding getting up and down to be a huge challenge, as well as trying to turn over in bed. I'm always afraid my staples will come popping out of the incisions.

I was given oxycodone 5 mg for at home, but during the stay I had gabapentin (neurontin) liquid. This stuff was great. I didn't even know I had nerve pain until my last dose of it wore off, and the oxycodone just does nothing for that pain.

Hope everyone else is doing great. I weight 12 lbs more than I did before surgery. I've heard it will come off quick in next few days, but ick!!!!

Hello I was sleeved on the 24th wat are your experiences now post op?

I was sleeved on 25. I'm good so far, no pain killer ... clear fluids & jello but I can feel everything going in. Gas is still around n makes me burp so I walk n drink! Unable to take omeprazole cuz the capsule is too big to swallow !
No nerve pains for me I hope you get better soon dear !! Do exactly what doc says

I'm really trying too. Anything larger than small sips seems to make me burp. I have not had much gas from other end, some but not a lot. I haven't taken the omeprazole. Im barely drinking anything. thanks for sharing your experiences.

Good luck on your journey
