Hello! I’m about 3 days post op and feeling pretty good! I have some weird soreness that I’m wondering if anyone else had? My calves are super sore- not unbearable by any means it just seems weird to me? And also when I wake up my throat is sore? Are these just some weird side effects of being in bed too long?

Congratulations on a successful surgery.

My doctor told me that after surgery my throat might be sore from the breathing tube and instrument they inserted during surgery. I also had on a leg compressor, if you did that could be the cause of your soreness in your calves.

The only pain have is where he pulled my stomach out. It is so sore and tender! I’m going to ask how big it was and did he pull anything else out 🤣 I also have the gas pains in my chest. Those are getting better.

Yes, My throat was horrible from the tube. I sucked on ice a couple days and popsicles. Keep it moist. Are you drinking anything like Gatorade Zero? I was feeling a little bad and it really helped me. Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon. Oh, if you don't have a bowel movement soon take some Mirilax. I wish I knew. Day 5 was horrible and it did not need to be. All good now tho.

      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.
