I am 4 days post op (3 spent in the hospital). Did anyone else have severe and uncontrollable pain, wretching and nausea? Right now this is the biggest mistake of my life. I have had many surgeries and medical problems and nothing has compared to the pain of this procedure. :confused2:

I am also on my fourth day and still in alot of pain and almost out of pain meds, which sucks. I haven't had any nausea, thank goodness. But don't think of it as a mistake! It WILL get better, I'm sure of that!

Nancy, I would call your doctor and get your pain under control. I too had nauseau and he gave me an anti nauseau medication that really helped. This surgery was easy for me so it shouldn't be that difficult for you. You just need to make sure to manage your symptoms . Good luck. Feel better!

I am on day 4 not to much pain and the doctor put a patch behind my ear to prevent that sick feeling, it worked. Side effects are extreme cotton mouth. I know you will feel better after this week is over. Hang in there!!

I had a lot of pain in my stomach and around my port incision. I am 8 days post-op and started feeling much better around day 6 to 7. Nothing helped my nausea except time. Never even took my pain meds.

We will be victorious!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
