What's the pain like?

I was sleeved yesterday day and the gas is the worst pain. Of course getting up and sitting down hurts but not as bad as the gas. The compression belt helps a little. I had to do an upper gi and the stuff the make you drink feels like lead in the bottom of your stomach but im looking forward to the 4th day that's when everyone says you will feel better.

My surgery pain was very well controlled with medicine, and the main cause of my pain was from gas. I would say my first few days after surgery that I was uncomfortable, but not that I was in pain. However, everyone is different- we all had different post-op meds, and different levels of pain tolerance so this is an extremely subjective question.
