Gastric Sleeve Surgery is it painful?

Those who have gone through the surgery did you deal with a lot of pain? I know a few folks and they said no.

    Had it 7 years ago and never thought it was all that painful, though gas pain can be a beast at times for a while. Hurts in the shoulders. However it’s a journey for a few months for most people. High

    It depends on who you are and your pain tolerance level. I hurt for about a month took lots of pain meds prescribed by the doc and a lot of antacids. I did not feel like myself till about six months l

I am on day 5 post op. The first day when i came out of surgery the pain was barely tolerable. I spent the first two days in bed. By day 3 i have had a little discomfort from gas. Day 4 a pain under my right armpit started to sting and burn. This only happens when I reach down and out walking and lifting myself no problem. Day 5 i have been press to meet intake goals for liquid and have been more gassy. After taking gas x the pain has relieved.

Not really after the first 2-3 days. because my surgeon gave me a tap block at the surgical site to reduce the post-op pain and need for medication. I had my gall bladder removed before the port site was incredibly painful. This experience was much different.
