How Painful Was The Surgery?

[pebbles99 10]

the only real pain i had was the gas pain that settled in my upper left shoulder. surprisingly, i had no stomach pain, only some tenderness. sleep was an issue for me the first 4 days. i woke up on day 5 like a totally different person. i felt 100% better. you will be fine. just do it and don't think about what will be, everyone is different and it will pass.

It sounds crazy but I had very little pain from surgery. I was sleeved two weeks ago by Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. No pain, other than the IV insertion and some sore tummy muscles. No nausea, very few gas pains from the gas used during surgery. I have felt amazing since I woke up. I had pain yesterday from my tummy not liking my BP meds. That was the worst I have hurt in this whole process.

Pain was minimal for me. Turning over in bed was the worst of it. I had one incision that was tender for six to eight weeks, but nothing serious. I only took one pain pill at night and only for a week after being discharged. A heating pad on my tummy helped more than anything. I used it during the day when I was sitting around. Also, walk, walk, walk.....it helps!!
