How do you feel? Are you in pain or are you sore?

I had zero pain and zero soreness after my sleeve surgery. No problems. The only thing is the nausea for 24 hours after surgery from the anesthesia while you're still in the hospital. But it only lasts 24 hours, so it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I was the opposite...zero nausea nor gas, but pain/soreness for about 3 weeks. Not sooooo much pain that I needed to take any pain meds, but enough to be annoying.

Just did my last appointment........ now waiting for that phone call to say when the day will be im not nervous but anxious excited to get started on this new journey i know its not gonna be easy im just ready to get started and get use to a routine and get going.
