Hi all

Got sleeved last Thursday on the 19th of September. Im in a good amount of pain still. I’m wondering when you became pain free after surgery. It’s been 6 days and I’m still pretty much bed ridden. I do get up and walk often and I go up and down stairs a few times a day but im in pain. About one hour before my pain meds are due I know it. I can feel it. I’m on Percocet and tylenol.

When did you stop feeling pain after surgery?

The general pain subsided around a week or so after surgery. That said, I do still get a sharp pain above my main incision site every now and then when I do something it doesn't like. It does help to wear the binder when I am more active... but I don't wear it all day. What really bothers me is my achy back. Not sure if it started because of positioning on the surgical table... but it still bugs me. I know I am protecting my abdomen so that still plays a part in it. I only took pain medicine for the first 5-6 days. After that I once in a while take liquid tylenol. I did take 1 dose of the pain medicine last week on a trip. I have one dose left I am saving for next weekend when I will be very busy. Just a thought... my doc did prescribe a muscle relaxant and that did help me fall asleep. I can sleep on my back, my left side, or stomach... but if I sleep on my right side it positions my main incision funny and it might hurt. I am 23 days post op.

I was sleeved last October and only the first day I was in a little pain, I have a high tolerance for pain but still didn’t take any pain killers, not even at the hospital. My oxycodone bottle it’s still here untouched lol.
