I forgot to mention the gas. I did have gas pain, mostly in my shoulder, but I wouldn't describe it as severe..

I did too

I had my sleeve 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I had minimal gas pains, but what I had easily passed (belching) when I got up and walked around. I had a drain, but only because there was a tear during surgery.

I had minimal incision pain. It wasn't bad and easily controlled with medicine. The worst pain was taking out the drain, but it only hurt for 5 minutes and was sore for about a day. I never had any nausea or vomiting. The only pain I had was when I tried to drink my clear liquid diet in the hospital. I realized that cold fluids hurt worse than warm fluids and we found a combination of anti-gas, pain and nausea med (even though I did not have nausea) that helped me with that pain.

I have had previous surgeries and this is the easiest I ever had. I had surgery on Wednesday and back to work on Monday without any problem.
