The general pain subsided around a week or so after surgery. That said, I do still get a sharp pain above my main incision site every now and then when I do something it doesn't like. It does help to wear the binder when I am more active... but I don't wear it all day. What really bothers me is my achy back. Not sure if it started because of positioning on the surgical table... but it still bugs me. I know I am protecting my abdomen so that still plays a part in it. I only took pain medicine for the first 5-6 days. After that I once in a while take liquid tylenol. I did take 1 dose of the pain medicine last week on a trip. I have one dose left I am saving for next weekend when I will be very busy. Just a thought... my doc did prescribe a muscle relaxant and that did help me fall asleep. I can sleep on my back, my left side, or stomach... but if I sleep on my right side it positions my main incision funny and it might hurt. I am 23 days post op.

I was sleeved last October and only the first day I was in a little pain, I have a high tolerance for pain but still didn’t take any pain killers, not even at the hospital. My oxycodone bottle it’s still here untouched lol.

      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.
