I'm experiencing more pain this day than any other. I can't sleep and the narcotics aren't taking the edge off the pain. I think it might be because that numbing injection at my incision sites have worn off??? Idk... But it's almost unbearable

It may be best to call your doctor. I think you should feel a little better each day. Unmanageable pain 5 days out doesn't seem right. I am 5 days out also, and I would be concerned if I was still in a lot of pain.

Is the pain more internal or does it seem to be coming from the incisions?

Thank you. I did call and spoke with the on call Dr. He told me to add a pain pill to what I'm already taking and if that doesn't help then he wants to see me.

It's more of an internal muscle pain. I'm thinking maybe I've built up a tolerance to the pain meds.

One reason why they said they could not get my pain under control as soon as I came out of surgery was because I was on narcotics for 9 months due to a pretty brutal broken bone in my foot. They said my body had build up a tolerance.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
