Just a note to let you all know my surgery went well and I'm doing fine. I'm still at the hospital but will post a full update when I get home! Spent yesterday very nauseous and in lots

of pain but doing pretty great now. Lots of pain in abdomen when I move around or in the proccess of standing up or sitting down. But once I am sitting still or walking slow I feel pretty good. I am getting down 1 oz of liquid every 15 mins with no trouble. Was not expecting a drain but I did get one. Yucky. Also most of my incisions are just 1 inch but the one in front is like 4 inches!!! That one hurts a lot. Time for me to walk the hall again, will update more later.

Congratulations. Just remember, it's sorta like having a baby - you will forget the pain when you see that scale dropping the pounds!!!!

Welcome to the post-op side!

It really does get better every day.

Take a piece of advice from another recently sleeved dude: do EVERYTHING your doctor says. No matter how silly it sounds. I have been eating too fast and really paid the price. Don't do what I did! :thumbup1:

Interesting about the 4 inch incision? guess all drs are a little different : )

It will get better fast and you will be very happy!

Enjoy your walks!

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for everything. Another update for you. I'm home and resting in my own bed, unfortunately not all that comfortably as my back

is hurting a lot. I'm on oxycodone but it's not killing my pain much. They had me on a really good one at the hospital but they said it was ibuprofen based so I couldn't stay on it. Bummer cuz it made me feel so good!

My best friend arrived tonight. I slep 8pm to midnight and she got in around then so we have been up talking a bit. So nice to have her here.

My incisions are sore but it's mostly the muscles underneath that really hurt so bad!!' can anyone tell me how long until the muscles start feeling better?

My biggest prob is intensely painful hunger pains. The dr said they will go away. I hope he's right, they hurt so bad! It's definitely not acid either, I've had lots of acid in the past and this feels totally different.

anyway I am just hoping that in a couple days I'll feel better. Right now pretty miserable.

WHooHooo! I'm so glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you are on the road to recovery and weight loss! I didn't have a lot of incisional or muscle pain, but I did have what felt like intense hunger pains for a while. I think that I may have been having some stomach spasms. For me, the feeling usually passed if I would eat something--even just a little yogurt or Soup would help.

I'm almost at 8 weeks now, and occasionally when I'm going to bed I may still have a milder version of the feeling, but for the most part, I'm not feeling hungry at all. I would say the stomach discomfort gradually subsided over the first month. Congratulations!
