Sorry you are in so much pain. Like everyone has said, it does get better. I am t day 3 post op and I can say the pain has tremendously reduced from yesterday to today. I also found that taking a sip of liquid and walking right after you swallow helps with the gas. Take your gas-x and your anti acids religiously they help a lot. Now I know the pain I am experiencing is from the incision not from gas. I know its uncomfortable to do anything but believe us when we say it gets a lot better.good luck wit your healing process.

@@Trina47 I was denied by Aetna so my surgeon requested a peer to peer and I was approved a week later. I guess it depends on your individual circumstances and the requirements for the insurance to approve. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Got sleeved yesterday and it was an outpatient procedure. I am having trouble getting my Protein and food intake. I cannot say I am in major pain, just major discomfort but every time I sip on something, Water, broth, Protein shake, I gag. I have not thrown up and I even have the nausea patch behind my ear. Does food liquid consumption get better with time? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

@@bossportsgal and @@therealrox I was sleeved yesterday morning. Mine was an out patient procedure. Was home by 12.00pm. Yesterday and last night were rough. The gas pain was horrible even though I spent a lot of time walking. To is a much better day... I took gas x for the gas and tums for what felt like heartburn. I am still taking the oxycodone every 4 hours for incision pain. Getting in and out of bed is a major struggle, so is finding a comfortable sleeping position. Since this is day 2 I am giving myself a couple more days for the gas and incision pains to subside. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

@@Ginsin007 I had mine done yesterday in the metro Atlanta area. As everyone said..the first day/night was rough with pain, nausea and gas. I have been walking around my apartment for 10-15 minutes every couple hours and I must say it has helped tremendously. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
