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.

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!
