NJGuy78 7 Posted January 5, 2016 I'm the biggest baby when it comes to pain and honestly, the only pain I felt was soreness. No regrets here at all. I can't believe it's been a week! If it weren't for the incisions, I would have no idea that I had surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ckcford 8 Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Guys! I am being sleeved on Jan 14th. I am really getting nervous. For all that have had the procedure done, was it worth it? Any regrets?I am one week out of surgery & regret it! But I also had a hiatal hernia repair & I have a lot of pain & can hardly get anything down! I now wish I would have tried harder to lose weight & exercise!!!! I'm so weak & feel like I'm starving to death! 14 lbs in one week but I'm miserable!!!! I keep praying that I will heal quickly from the 2-surgeries!!!!! Just being honest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does hurt some to swallow anything and I would love to chug a bottle of water!!! I hope this does resolve soon as this is incomfortable to say the least. Hope you feel better soon## oh!!

jembell01 129 Posted January 7, 2016 @@ckcford I am now 9 days post op. I regretted it from day 1 until about day 4. Not so much from the pain of surgery, but from the constant nausea. Once I switched to phenegran suppositories, my life changed lol I was able to sleep and not wake up constantly dry heaving. I am 18 lbs down from my HW and 14lbs down since surgery. I do NOT regret it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
