Is yours on and off' date=' too? Like mine is worse with movements, but sometimes I can move around just fine with minor pain. And as for pain meds, I ran out of my liquid loratab around a week post op..so I don't know what to do. And yep, the ER visit is out of question for me..too much money already owed for the surgery itself as well! Hopefully we will be better soon![/quote']

Call your doctor and ask for more pain meds. Tell them what's going on. You are not going to be treated like a junkie. ;-) its not really that high level of a narcotic.

Children's liquid Tylenol works well, too, and was recommended by my doctor since narcotic pain meds cause Constipation.< /p>

Omg, I was just going to post the same thing!! I dread sleeping bc I am woken up by HORRIBLE pain with certain movements. And when I sneeze I feel like my insides just exploded. On the incision over where my tummy is left of my incision. I called the doctor this am and she said its just healing and if it gets worse to call. She said I could take tylenol pm or Benadryl for sleep. Auh!!!! It hurts so bad!!

Thanks to everyone who has shared on here I was sleeved on the 19th of July and last night I woke up with this cramp/stinging pain right under to the left of my belly button and it has not gone away since. It does come and go but a majority of the time it is there and it has me hunched over in pain and barely walking at times. I was starting to get scared because I lifted a bag of dirt yesterday and thought maybe I tore something but as I am reading this everyone has put my mind at ease, so once again Thank you

Hello, not to scare anyone but just my experience. Sleeved July 31... No pain or meds since released from hospital. Woke up yesterday with pain on left side and around big incision site. Called Dr and was adv to come to er( only bc never felt this type of pain)... Got to er and was admitted bc of high blood cell count. My body had a reaction to the gtube. Had xrays to verify no leaks and gtube was removed immediately.. was told some people bodies cant handle objects inside( glad i didnt choose the band!) But I feel soooo much better today!

Good luck to all

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
