Chelsea0604 8 Posted July 4, 2020 I am 19 days away from surgery!! I have my endoscopy on Thursday. I’m so afraid of pain. What was your pain level? Were you in much pain? This will be my first surgery & my first time under anesthesia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris77 1,538 Posted July 4, 2020 Hello! Everyone is different of course but I have to tell you that my recovery was pretty easy with no complications. I did my sleeve back in July 2018. Best decision I ever made!! Good luck to you! I wish you a easy recovery and much success!! 1 Chelsea0604 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lanie992 168 Posted July 4, 2020 It was my first surgery too. I wasn't in the pain when I was still in the hospital (day 1 & 2). They had me on morphine every 2 hours. Day 3 and 4 were pretty bad.. not gonna lie. I had no idea how much morphine was helping me.. Things progressively started getting better from day 5 on... . I only took my pain meds (tylenol 3) for 3 days (through day 5) and then I was off them. I was uncomfortable for about 2 weeks after surgery, but not in pain.. I didn't even bother with regular OTC pain meds. The pain level wasn't excruciating though. I'd go back & have it done again in a heartbeat, if I needed to. 1 Chelsea0604 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoomzoom 45 Posted July 4, 2020 Not my first surgery but by far the easiest recovery! The gas pain sucked, but I knew that going in and walked and walked. I really had very little pain at the incision sites. I think I took one Norco and then just used extra strength Tylenol. Good luck!Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Chelsea0604 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
