Caela88 13 Posted January 27, 2016 Hello My friends! I had my lapband removal and sleeve revision done on Monday around noon. I have been home since yesterday afternoon and sadly am not one of you who has been pain free. I was hoping I was going to be pretty "ok" especially since I have a high pain tolerance, am younger and felt like I really prepared myself. I feel like absolute death! Sometimes it hurts to sip, hurts to breath, hurts to move, hurts to just be.... I know this will all pass, but I am just discouraged with the amount of pain I am in. I was sent home with liquid Hydrocodone and am allowed to take 10 ml every 6 hours... I have been using gas X pills as well. They seems to help (a little) when first taken, but definitely only about 1-2 hours long out of the 6 hour time frame. Hope everyone is well. Just focusing on getting myself better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkgirl1234 761 Posted January 27, 2016 I had revision to bypass ....the first week you feel like you were literally run over by a car.It will slowly get better..,Revisions from the lapband is beyond tough!The surgery is much tougher than others...just the removal of the band is extremely tough.,,scar tissue etc.Thats why some surgeons won't do it all at once.I know your pain...please note the pain killers als cause headaches so don't be surprised.Hang in there....

I just feel puffy, sore and exactly like you said... like I got run over by a truck. I guess I am just even more defeated because I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Definitely not pain free in any way, but also nothing Close to this amount of pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
