I was very unprepared for this pain. I was under the impression it wouldn't be as bad as the c-section I had but that's sooo untrue. At 12 days out is your pain better?

Thinkingthinner1109 485 Posted August 28, 2014 Snow kitten, I was also very unprepared for the pain. I just want to feel better and I did sooooo much research on this surgery so I could make an informed decision. I wish I would have waited a bit longer before I made a decision. I had lost 60 pounds prior to my surgery and was doing well, however my problem was I could never keep it off. I wish I had more will power. I don't know how everyone does it. Maybe when the pain is gone I will feel much differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feltond 6 Posted August 28, 2014 You'll feel better at 2 weeks, even better at 3 weeks and normal by at 1 month. Hang in there! I am almost 10 weeks out and it gets easier every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondebomb 580 Posted August 28, 2014 Gas pain an hernia repair was my worse...my tummy no problem. .the hernia repair according to my internists will take months to heal but the esophagus spasms will subside in about a wk. Take ur script painkillers! Ur body needs the rest an u can't get sufficient healing an rest in pain. Keep hydrated as much as possible. My esophagus spasms hurt like heck. By the 6th or so day it was eased a lot. Hang in there new sleevers it gets soo much better! Best decision I ever done for myself besides the breast reduction 15 yrs ago!!
