peachie86 63 Posted September 19, 2013 Hi, This first few days after surgery have been rough. I came home yesterday, but still need pain meds every six hours related to the incisions. The gas is also very painful. However, started passing some of it yesterday. I am full of fluids, hand, stomach and legs swollen.. My potassium went very low and my sugar went up in the hospital. No regrets, but ready to feel better so I can focus on my new life change. I read so many post that other sleeves pain was just a little discomfort, I hoped that would be me. Oh well, this too shall pass! 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indigo1991 1,612 Posted September 19, 2013 Yes, this too shall pass! That's been my mantra through this whole process and it is true. You are doing well for just a few days out and these are the toughest. There may be other challenges ahead but these don't usually happen against the backdrop of major surgery Stick with sipping your fluids, the pain will ease and the fog will clear. Your health will improve and your weight loss will kick in. You are at the start of an exciting journey - I had a few weepy moments in the early days but five months out I wouldn't change any of it. Good luck !!! 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
