I was sleeved on 6/5. Did pain meds pretty much every 4 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday. Only had one dose on Thursday and Friday and nothing yesterday. This evening I'm really hurting... It's pulling and my lower back muscles are hurting. Is this normal? Is it ok to take pain meds again?

If they were prescribed for you, then yes! I have been taking mine since I left the hospital.

YES this is normal...I didnt take my meds that often after coming home either....just dont like the idea...but I did take them when I went to sleep at night. I am 17 days post op and it does get better with each day! Yesterday was the 1st day I could bend over and pick something up off the floor. I think you back hurts from straining those muscles trying not to strain your stomach! You will be surprised at how each day gets easier!

I hated the pain meds they made me do nothing but sleep! A hearing pad was my BFF!

I am guessing here but can't you switch to Over the counter meds for pain to avoid prescription meds?.But best to check with doc on which ones he prefers. And for pre op people, this is always a good question to know and ask pre op of your doc so to have on hand already.

      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.
