Post -Op Question

[GansettRam74 13]

So I was sleeved finally this past Wednesday 6/20. Spent just a day in the hospital, drank 60oz of Water and the two shakes with easy. Pain was minimal so doc said time to go home. However Once home, until this afternoon, my abdomen felt like I did a million crunches, every time I moved my core it hurt like hell. And seemed a a bite bloated but I didn’t think I was all that gassy. However as this afternoon everything has seemed to worn off! My soreness has disappeared, my liquid intake goes down with ease, don’t feel like my abs got beat with a bat, and bloated feeling is gone. Has anyone had a similar situation where symptoms just seem to disappear? Granted I’m still somewhat sore and hurts getting up. Should I be concerned or just roll with it? No other symptoms, incisions don’t appear any different than day one, etc. Have been more active today with trip to Home Depot, Walmart, and Best Buy plus a morning 30min walk. Would love to hear similar situations to ease my mind.

I'm just posting because I'm jealous of your super human recovery so far...

I don’t think it’s that. It’s just suddenly feels like a load off my abdomen. Could it all be gas related? Just looking for experiences. Probably will feel like crap again tomorrow but didn’t know if it’s something I should be concerned about.

If I were a betting person, I'd think it was gas. Your body may be more efficient than most at getting rid of it. Yeah, you!

Roll with it. Coughing and sneezing is still going to suck, be careful when rolling or trying to lie on your side, and expect to be very sleepy. But otherwise no panicking, this is just a good recovery.
