I went to the hospital and next thing i know im waking up post op room. I'm in so much pain, I'm taking it one hour at a time. I think the pain is from all the gas. I've been forcing myself to walk around the halls every 2 hrs and it helps.

Sounds like you are doing good with your walking. Don't be afraid to ask for more pain meds! Congrats on your surgery That pain should start subsiding pretty quickly, just keep up with the pain meds. Take care and good luck. Welcome to this side!

Hi and welcome to the losers bench. I am sorry you are in so much pain but walking is the best you can do that and ask for pain meds if you need it. And keep telling yourself that with each passing day you will feel better.

Congrats on being "sleeved." The first fews days are by far the hardest and you will start feeling better quickly. Walk as often as you can. When I got home, I used a heating pad for the gas pains and it seemed to help quite a bit. The more active I was, the better I felt. I tired quickly though and took both a morning and a afternoon nap for the first couple of weeks. Just think, the hardest part is over!

Hi, Marie. I'm from Michigan too, not that has anything to do with my question... I'm worried about what you said about napping 2x's a day. Because of work, I have to return just 7 days post op. I'm on my feet most of the day. My surgery is scheduled for June 28th, I'm now so nervous. Any thoughts? Will I be able to do this?

Thanks!!
