How long does pain last



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve on March 11th and came home from hospital on March 12th. Today is the 14th. I'm frustrated about the pain around the left side incision site. It is very painful getting out of bed or out of chairs. I take pain meds but I havent had a BM yet. How long does the pain last.

The pain meds slow things down, not unusual to not have BM for awhile..ur not really eating! Can't help with the pain...I had very little, but I would think would resolve soon. Good luck!

The more you move the faster you heal. Your pain meds will also contribute to Constipation so may want to wean yourself off and walk walk walk. Good luck and welcome to the losers side of things :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
