That gives me hope!

I've tried everything. Nothing helps. Popsicles don't cause pain, that's the only thing I have found.

Still having that intense pain after I swallow right between my boobs. It hurts so so so bad & I get it every time I drink.

I got one shake and one bottle of water down today. I think it's impossible. My biggest problem is the pain when I drink. It hurts so bad that I can't do it.

After your surgery did it hurt when the liquids hit your stomach? It is killing me shooting sharp pains throughout.

i have had the same thing it hurts like$&;$$;

Well I got discharged a couple hours ago after begging the doc to let me leave... Now I'm at home realizing I don't think I can get comfy in my bed. I am ready to be well!! I will say that the shower was amazing though! I no longer feel like I'm toting hospital germs around

I feel like I just want to eat crackers... What's up with that!!??!! (Don't worry I'm not going to)

Girl I had mine the 16th and I am still in the hospital. I have been one sick girl. I am praying I get to go home soon!

I am having the exact same problem.

I'm not sure honestly, but it is horrendous pain.

It was a lot of work for one time, and I think it is slowing my healing time, and definitely increasing my pain. Usually this surgeon dermabondS your op sights.. But I have a crap ton of staples. I do still have my drain and it's still draining but hopefully he will pull it today and let me go home, but it's possible he won't with me unable to tolerate liquid. I also have morphjne, dilaudid, and hydrocodone syrup. I almost vomit every time I try to take it. So that's not cook! I actually just walked... It is nice to move around

I am still in the hospital(surgery was 12/16/14.I wish I wouldn't have had all three surgeries at one time. I am having pure hell! Nausea, vomiting (minimal thank God), and intense pain. I looked at all my op sights and I am covered with staples instead of dermabond, which is weird because he always uses glue. I can't drink either without sharrrrp pains in the mid epigastric area. Not sure he will let me go home tomorrow either.

I am still in the hospital. Yall are lucky you were discharged and lucky to only have minimal pain. I wish I wouldn't have had all three surgeries at one time. I am having pure hell! Nausea, vomiting (minimal thank God), and intense pain. I looked at all my op sights and I am covered with staples instead of dermabond, which is weird because he always uses glue. I can't drink either without sharrrrp pains in the mid epigastric area. Not sure he will let me go home tomorrow either. I'm just glad y'all are doing well.

I'm still on the hospital so I'm going to talk to him when he makes rounds today.. This crap hurts!

This is intense sharp stabbing pain, like someone is trying to rip me apart. It worse than incision pain and gas pain combined.

It is the worst pain ever. I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repaired at the same time so they said my pain would be much worse than just a sleeve. I just hope the pain chills out soon!

I am in severe pain, but they said it would hurt worse since I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repair. I can sip my water fine.. But I get a sever sharp pain afterward. The gas pain is hell too! I have 9 surgical areas and all but 1 of the sights have 2 staples each, but one had 4 staples and another has my jp drain in it.

Literally in pre-op right now! Nerves are under control at the moment though, thank God.

I am being sleeved tomorrow, they are also removing my gallbladder and repairing a hietal hernia. Has anyone had their gallbladder removed at the same time?

Yay!! Thank you for the good vibes and energy you are sending!! I will most definitely do the same for you

lunch ????

The complications I see for the most part are dehydration, nausea, & vomiting. For the most part. I have seen in the past few weeks one person who's staples were placed too close inward and could get anything down.. She eventually got better. Another had a bowel torn somehow during surgery.. And lastly a patient was discharged, ate too soon, and ended up with some MAJOR complications. For the most part it's nausea vomiting and dehydration though. I will tell you this though... We see literally at least 5 patients a week with lap band problems,!many of which are very serious. I would NEVER go that route.
