When does the discomfort stop after surgery?

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

Hey all! I had sleeve surgery done on May 27th and I still have so much discomfort. It hurts if I move a certain way, when I walk, sitting up straight for too long. I am just in general discomfort ALL the time. I would say my pain level is like a 3-5

Has anyone else had this problem 2 weeks out? When does it stop??? I'm so ready to feel okay again

Thanks!

Alyssa

I had little to no pain. A lot of it depends on how big you were and how healthy you were going into surgery. For me, it just felt like I was punched in the stomach or did a lot of crunches, so not that bad. The only painful part was when they took out the drain but that only lasted a few seconds.

Sitting up at my work desk was uncomfortable until a week ago, so 4 weeks out.

It was just muscle soreness but made work a bit of a challenge

I had serious pain afterward, sleeves on 5/26, come to find out it was a strained back muscle likely from the position I was in on the OR table. I had a light back adjustment yesterday at the chiropractor's office and I feel like a new woman. I hope you feel better soon!!

Sorry to hear you are still in pain.

I had surgery on 5/17 and took pain med every for hours for the next 3 days. On day 4 & 5 I only took one at bedtime. During week 2 only random pain. I would be calling my surgeon's office if I were still in pain.

Hope it gets better soon!

I was also sleeved May 27th and I had a follow up with my surgeon today and I have the same exact discomfort in my left side of my abdomen. Doc said it could take about a month to FULLY go away. It was gone yesterday but then I picked up my 5 year old daughter and I'm back to soreness today. It feels as if I ran a marathon, the runners cramp in my side. Other than that no pain. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

I had the sleeve done on April 11, 2015 and had little to no pain. I took the pain medicines to sleep so I would not think about food. I am 8 weeks post-op now and have some discomfort eating some foods, however am doing quite well. I am losing weight nicely, about 45 lbs down.

Thanks everyone. I had my 2 week post op visit today and my surgeon put me back on dilaudid (I had run out) and ordered a catscan. They said I should not be hurting this much :-/ I hope it stops soon!

That's what my doc said would happen with me. I'm 14 days out and still sore in one place on left side.

Hey I was sleeved on May 26. For about 5 days it hurt to walk, mostly from my largest incision where the stomach was removed. My back had some pain in it too (upper) but I attribute that to being from the way I would hold my body up due to the discomfort. I didnt take anything more than a tylenol. After 5 days or so I feel like I never had surgery
