6 days post - looking for advice

I had my gastric sleeve surgery Monday May 14th. I have been having multiple issues that everyone that I've spoken to say is normal but needed to know that it isn't just me. I have nausea which is varies in extremes. Sipping my liquids seems to cause a great deal of gas pain which my surgeon said to use chewable gas x. It helps a little. To make things worse, I have internal pain and incision pain. I am fortunate to have a nurse come to my house and the incisions are healing fine but the sharp burning pains especially when moving are horrible. I typically have extremely high pain tolerance as I've have back surgery and handled that fine. Is anyone going through this le pen el of discomfort or am I the only one? Right now I am hating my decision to get the surgery. I have an awesome surgeon and everyone that I have talked to say it will pass...but when. Would be great to know I'm not going crazy or going through it alone.

    I opted for WLS because I have RA and the meds just weren't as effective anymore. My rheumatologist recommended the surgery to help. I have a 4 yr old grandson that I want to be around for and he able

So sorry you are feeling awful. In the first weeks, my surgeon wanted to make certain that I took Omeprazole DR twice a day, and also Zotran whenever I feel nauseous. It really helps.

Feel better!
