pinkpeonies 42 Posted April 6, 2013 Came home last night. I have to say, I was completely unprepared for the level of pain and nausea. I'm quite swollen, so every sip is painful. I'm almost in tears when I have to take my pain meds (liquid) because If I try to sip it, I gag, so I have to take it like a shot. It took 4 hrs for the surgery, most of that as to remove the band. I'm sure I'll have difficulty even remembering how miserable these days are. But for now, I regret it. A lot. The pain and discomfort are out of control.

No game 14,437 Posted April 6, 2013 Just take care. Be patient with the process, this is MAJOR surgery and it takes time to recover. But it will get a little better everyday. The first week was definitely the hardest! Good luck to you, Laura 1 pinkpeonies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiggleLiggle 84 Posted April 6, 2013 I am almost 3 weeks out now and' trust me, it will become a distant memory and you will be so thankful you were able to have a revision, I know I am 1 pinkpeonies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted April 6, 2013 OUCH! I'm soooo sorry that you are having to go through a painful recovery. Having a revision is so much harder on your tummy than just getting sleeved. I didn't have a revision so my surgery took less than 45 minutes to get sleeved... If yours took 4 hours you can imagine how much more trauma your poor tummy had to endure than someone like me who didn't have to go through the revision process! Feel better soon! 1 pinkpeonies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
