I am on day 19 post op and I have still not returned to work yet. At first I had a lot of energy and probably tried to do too much too soon, but I have been transitioning to solids and maybe that is the problem.. It seems I am having too much pain considering I am almost 3 weeks out!
Sometimes the pains are sharp (left side)... I saw my doc last Thursday and he said pain was normal, but it scares me a little - I just want to know if this is normal, because I thought I would be back to work already and I thought the pain would be gone.
I did have hernia surgery along with my sleeve and my doc said I had one of the worst hiatal hernia's he has ever worked on... maybe that has made the recovery longer????
Can anyone relate?
