tleg 31 Posted November 6, 2014 I had the sleeve done this past Monday November 3rd. When will I be able to stand straight up without feeling the pulling. What about the incisions not be so sensitive? I can only get in 1 oz an hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woo woo 872 Posted November 6, 2014 You should feel much better in a day or two. Then better every day. You should feel fully normal in 2-3 weeks. It goes much faster than I'm sure you can imagine right now. Hang in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted November 6, 2014 Another week or so you should start feeling better each day. I didn't really start feeling "normal" til about 4 or 5 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baker1963 1 Posted November 6, 2014 You should feel better as each day passes. My surgery was on the same day as yours. If you have pain take your pain meds when needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it hard for you to stand straight up? I am bent over. I had a bad reaction. To my first pain pills so switched to Tramadol that we have to crush up. My stomach is rolling like a thunderstorm. I've been walking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted November 6, 2014 By day 9 or 10 post-op, all the discomfort I was feeling went away. It took a few more weeks before I could lay falt on the bed or lay on my side without feeling a pulling sensation inside. I think I was back to my normal self by the end of a month. The liquid pain meds I was given tasted so disgusting that I went without. My stomach was rolling and complaining all day, every day for that first 10 days. But everything quieted down after that.

JerzyTomato74 91 Posted November 6, 2014 I thought the same thing initially and my first night home was almost in tears wondering what I did to myself. At 6 days post-op, I no longer had pain each time I got up. Yesterday, 7 days post-op, I didn't need my pain meds at all! So believe me when I say, each day gets better!!! Keep your chin up and know that better days are ahead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10 28 2014 45 Posted November 6, 2014 I had the sleeve done this past Monday November 3rd. When will I be able to stand straight up without feeling the pulling. What about the incisions not be so sensitive? I can only get in 1 oz an hour I had surgery last Tuesday and am feeling so much better!!! I am able to get all of my fluids in along with two Protein Shakes and am walking a mile a day. I can assure you that last week I could barely get anything down and had no interest in moving period. I didn't have that much pain and stopped taking meds the day after surgery. If you are that uncomfortable maybe you should check in with your Dr. Hang in there!
