Hi- I'm exactly 2 weeks post surgery. I've healed quickly and feel great...though still tire more easily than usual. Here is my problem. I have significantly increased pain on my left side (internal) near the site of the drain incision. I DID spend a lot of time working at a desk and with a computer yesterday. But, darn it. I hurt....enough for pain meds and couldn't sleep well at all. Is this a normal response to "over doing" it? Or, is this a sign of a problem? Please help....

I am considering the sleeve surgery too. I think it is right for me. However, I am a former Lap Bander whose hardware failed.... I regained 150+ pounds and am now considering the sleeve. I'm a self-pay patient, and NOT independently wealthy, so it has taken a lot of time and soul searching to consider more surgery. I'm trying to take the final steps and schedule but I'm gun shy. I'm concerned I haven't see any unbiased clinical evaluations of the sleeve...am I not looking in the correct places?
