I had my sleeve done December 31,2019. I am still having a lot of pain. How long and when should the pain start to subside?

Congrats on your surgery! I also had my reversal from band to sleeve on 12/31/2019. My doctor gave me liquid hydrocodone with Tylenol. I stayed two nights in the hospital and was released to go home today. I have only taken my meds twice today. My pain only hurts when I get up and feel a little heaviness In my midsection and it definitely hurts where my port used to be. I’m using my binder and it is helping keep the inflammation down. My nurses said within a few days the pain will subside and I know I’m looking forward to that. Best of luck on your journey!

So Being post op almost 6 years they pump you full of air so that pain will be there for a few days, walking will help with it. When you have a reversal or a revision it hurts a bit more I felt bad for a week, my wife went through the same procedure and had a ton of pain in the first 48. If you are home and cannot control call the doctor and ask, what the issue can be, I had a kink in the sleeve and it hurt big time. It may hurt now but it is so worth it. 6 years post op I am still loosing and take your Vitamins when you are able too, Anemia is a horrible side effect.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
