Just got sleeved on Monday how long does the pain last!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved last Wednesday. So I am 6 days post op with no pain! But I've also followed all the direction of walking and it helps. The first three days are the worse! Then you will be able to feel your incisions each day getting better! I took pain medicine once after I got home on day two and was good after that. Just hang in there :)

I took the pain meds for 3 days and then I was good. The more you walk the better, try not to sit a lot. Get rest when you can but get up and move. Good luck!

I'll be 1 week post-op tomorrow. I still feel some pain especially in the morning. I also bought a treadmill and used it yesterday, I walked for 10 min at 2mph and then I started to feel pain. Everyone's body is different. I feel pain when I sit on a chair or on the floor with my kids, if im not lying down or somewhat on an angle, my belly fat pushes on my newly stapled stomach and that causes pain. As far as my incisions, I havent really noticed them but this morning my night top (which has a built in bra with elastic) caught the edge of the glue and when I went to take my shirt off I didnt realize it had completely ripped it out. Walking and staying active, within limits of course helps!

Once I went home from the hospital I didn't take any pain meds, but I was uncomfortable for around two weeks. And if I didn't wear my abdominal binder I would have incision pain in my biggest incision.

It gets better!

I had my surgery on Monday as well (June 8th) and I find today, Thursday, I feel sooooo much better. I walked. And walked. And walked at the hospital and I think thst made the difference for me. I am still quite tired from the Anethestic, but the incision pain is a lot better today. Good luck!!

Im still in the hospital and can barely walk. How long does the pain last. It so uncomfortable im constantly in tears.

Purdy1408 I was sleeved on Monday as well and I was sent home last night! Pain was awful first day but I forced waking and got out of there as quickly as I could! Tuesday was soooo hard...only Water to drink and your stomach hurts and craves some sustenance! This is normal and it will get better! Know we are all sending prayers for you to get home so you can rest on your terms!

My first week was painful. A week after that it was tolerable. Now (9 weeks out) it is amazing.

My pain lasted about a week and half.. And same with my mum.

Walking does help. We did heaps at the hospital. It helps get rid of the gas ... It does get better as you go along, I'm almost 3 months out and 20kgs lighter now. But I won't lie and say it's been a fun ride figuring everything out! But plus side pain is gone but be careful of eating and drinking to fast because it causes pain that feels like a heart attack (so so painful) which is a major bitch!!!

I'm home from the hospital and so far no pain except when I cough. No hunger -- keep sipping those shakes. They are very filling. Hang in there. This is a lifetime process and you just need to get through the first few weeks and it will be so wonderful. Just keep picturing how you are going to look 100 lbs lighter!

Hi everyone, just had my surgery Tues. June 9, I do feel better when I walk, I still seem to need anti-nauseous medicine and pain medicine for one of the incisions that was deep. My question I feel like I can't get my liquids in even with small sips will that get better, feel like I'm going to throw up?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
