Pain

[ruthie74 101]

I had my surgery this past Monday. It was so painful but finally got it under control

I came home yesterday. I felt ok.

This morning I feel so much pain! The pain pump at the hospital was so much help.

Vicodin doesn't seem to be helping much.

Did others feel this way after the surgery and getting home? How did you over come the pain??

Thanks in advance everyone!

I was sleeved on 6/18, came home on 6/19. Swollen and sore, gas pains are ridiculous but walking really helps. The worst part for me at home is the disgusting liquid meds! Hang in there, it can only get better!

The first 5 days is tough! But day by day you'll start to feel better! I was sleeved 5/22 and now I feel awesome good luck y'all I can guarantee its worth it!

I felt like I had the flu with terrible gas pains. Keep sipping and walking it gets better quick.

I just got sleeved on Tuesday (June 18th) and I am having major gas pain as well, especially to my back. Heating pads have worked GREAT for my back and pushing that gas forward (gas is less painful in tummy area--for me). I've been getting up every hour, on the hour to walk. Hopefully this gas will start to make its exit. I'm also having a hard time getting liquids in as well

walk as much as you can. The first week is the hardest part. After 2 weeks you won't even remember the pain much

Thanks everyone! I feel guilty just laying around the house doing nothing. Kids and husband have been very helpful but I wish I can just fast forward to when I feel better lol

I have to remind myself I just had the surgery on Monday! And I will feel better!

Walking is the only way I got better.

I was sleeved on 6/18 and except for the gas pains and soreness at incision sites I don't have much pain. Still though I'm kind of iffy on taking a shower even though I was told I could start today and remove the bandage and band aids beneath just leave the sterile strips alone. Think maybe a bit afraid of what is under there!

You will be fine! I took a shower in hospital day after sleeved. Best shower in my life lolll I had anxiety because any other time I was in hospital they hardly ever let me shower was so relieved this time! Now I can't wait to lay in bathtub lolll gl
