Did anyone have significant pain after 2 weeks? I had a hiatal hernia removed at the same time as my surgery. I don't know what is considered normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm sorry it is only 2 weeks out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just got off the phone with mine. They are going to give me more meds to try, added pain medication and a cat scan to make sure the hiatal hernia repair didn't slip back up. I'll keep you posted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My pain seems be mid upper breaths bone area to be all left sided and traveling into shoulder. I ate ricotta bake and had a similar response. I called dr today because I have to start back at work tomorrow. The pain I'm having is very localized hurts all the time but more pain when eat and drink. I had a few good days followed by a few pretty awful days. @@rhansen7 pain makes me vomit as well. Utter exhaustion for past few days. Lots of burping and gurgling though I thought that was normal in sleeve surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@beggingtobehealthy did you have a hiatal hernia by chance? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much. He seems to think it is the hernia repair that is causing the pain. I was vomiting the first few nights after surgery because of it. The pain is always same location which is high and in the middle where the hernia was. I'm getting fluids down and started puréed foods today. I got 2 tablespoons of ricotta bake down and felt like that was a win though I'm not going to lie, it isn't comfortable. I had started to feel like there was a light but as I spread out the pain meds more and more and take less and less the pain is returning to a really uncomfortable painful level. I hate feeling like a big baby how far out after surgery are you?

I've already had a refill on the pain meds once and feel weird asking again seeing as I'm running out. They only give you a few days worth every time. The pain has been constant but the pain meds have been helping but as I started to run low I started spreading the time out more and more in between and now it is becoming intolerable again. I know some people are fine and others that I spoke to had to be on pain meds for a month. I don't know what is normal. Every time I speak to surgeon he says it depends on people's pain tolerance. But that where my pain is seems to be consistent with the hiatal hernia repair.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've had pain the whole time I'm starting to feel normal again. But will be out of pain meds soon and am nervous about it. I have bouts of energy followed by extreme exhaustion. Which makes me feel like I can do more than I can then I regret it. Finally can get three shakes down and some broth in between, meeting my water goal. I start puréed foods tomorrow which I'm hoping will be good because I miss real food. I lost 8 lbs the week before on the pre op diet and 8 post surgery for a total of 16... How are you doing I want to hear about how others are doing because I have no clue what this is supposed to look like. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
