The Candidate 3,215 Posted September 24, 2016 How bad was the pain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cslove 141 Posted September 24, 2016 I honestly wasn't in a lot of pain. Maybe the first 2-3 days. The Constipation from the narcotics was far worse than that. My arms didn't start tingling until the second week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cslove 141 Posted September 24, 2016 @cbonet- My starting weight was 349- so I lost around 115lbs. I was a self pay and I have no regrets. I expected it to be worst. But just like my sleeve, after 3-4 days, every day got better and better. I was not bedridden or anything. Coughing hurt for the first couple of weeks.
