Alistmurf 23 Posted October 1, 2016 I know everyone is different, but I'm wondering how long it took you to feel 100% after surgery? My worst fear is that I won't heal properly or it will take months and months to feel normal. Just wondering what others experience was like.

mwilson083 6 Posted October 1, 2016 I am 4 weeks post sleeved. Every day I feel stronger but far from normal. My doctor told me normal usually occurs 6 months to a year. I am still in the healing phase. With this being said ,my expectations were put on a realistic track. Slow and Easy.

kerber 22 Posted October 1, 2016 I had a huge improvement in my energy and ability to walk after a week. I was doing great then had a gallbladder attack and had that surgery 4 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery. I know am feeling great again. Been 4 weeks since second surgery and have been back to work 2 weeks now. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sai 785 Posted October 1, 2016 Day 3 or 4, I felt really good with the exception of stomach muscular pain (like overworked ab muscles). After 7 years lap band, I had the band to sleeve revision which may be why for my speedy recovery. Decided to add this: I did have trouble feeling hungry and that bothered me, but after day 16 when my stomach swelling went down, the fake hunger feelings dropped off.

Mimi52 103 Posted October 1, 2016 I had the revision on Tuesday 9/27, still feeling under the weather, can't seem to get enough fluids in, trying to drink but so hard. Stomach still very sore especially the one large site. Also doesn't help I have a cough, so every time I cough hurts worse. How long did it take to get enough fluids in?

kerber 22 Posted October 1, 2016 Place a pillow against you stomach and hold it to splint the area to help with the pain. Just keep taking sips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
