Emilee68 46 Posted February 27, 2013 I was sleeved yesterday...everything went well and made it to my room about 3:30. The gas pains are unbearable and they have me some gas strips. Walking is a nightmare and my left side is the most painful. It's just describable pain. I hope everyone else is doing better than me right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KDT8402 25 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm the same boat. I was sleeved Monday afternoon. The pain is crazy. I can barely sit up better yet walk around. The gas.pains just started today. I have gas x strips but I am not allowed to take them I'm still in the hospital a little nervous about being released while I'm in this much pain. I plan to walk a lot today maybe that will help tremendously. These first few days will be rough but we can make it through. Stay strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted February 27, 2013 I too was in horrible pain from the time I woke up and the pain meds did not cut it. My dr asked me if I wanted to stay an extra day and iam so glad I did. It was a lot better the next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

valerie805 4 Posted February 27, 2013 I was sleeved on 2/20 and the pain afterwards was horrible. I felt like I jumped off the Empire State Building and was then hit by a diesel. My nurse was giving me Tylenol through my I'VE but that wasn't helping. I asked for something stronger so they gave me morphine. That did help and made me sleepy, which was fine. The pain lasted for about 2 days. I was prescribed Vicodin but haven't used it at all. I feel fine now. Still sore and move a little slow, but overall pain free.
