How painful is gastric sleeve post-op?

[ksleeved 0]

My surgery went well too. I was quite surprised at how little pain I had I had. I didn’t have much gas pain at all which I was worried about from others experiences. I had tightness along my chest which I just kept walking which got rid of the discomfort I had. My was mainly sickness feeling super super sick the whole time and heaving with a raw stomach which isn’t pleasant. But for pain not much really, I’m 2 weeks post opp today and I remember feeling like I’d done tones of sit-ups and in my chest had some pain. But I expected something completely different, I’m not sure if it helped in anyway but I done a diet 2 weeks before off my own back to prepare me, so I wasn’t eating fatty foods all the time. I had back pain but mainly from being in bed for so long and body not used to it. I guess we all have different experiences don’t let the scary ones put you off just try and prepare with eating cleaner before and cut out fizzy/caffeine 🙂 hope that helps

I didn't have much pain in either the vsg or revision. I didn't even bother taking the pain meds after the first day in both cases. I just took otc Tylenol. Only because I can't handle the groggy feeling. The gas pains back then (vsg) was a bit painful but just walk, walk, walk it off if you can and take gas relieving otc meds. My surgeon suggested gasx strips but I like mylanta mini fruit chews.
