How many days did it take you to feel ok?

[bufbills 316]

My surgery is Monday. I'm wondering how many day after surgery it to feel ok. Not perfect but ok.

On day four, I felt okay to move around and work about a half day. Then every day got better after that.

Thats about what I'm hoping for. Give or take.

Swallowing felt a little painful / off for a few days, but other than that I pretty much felt fine right away. I was in the hospital overnight and went home late the next day. The day after I was out running errands with the wife and kids and I was back at work I think 6 days post-op.

Day 5 for me, but days 1-2 weren't bad because I was in the hospital getting pain medicine every 2 hours, if needed.

Things are were still uncomfortable for the first two weeks though.. not painful, just not comfortable.

I was back to work the next day but sore - Takes about 5 weeks for a full heal and back to a the new way of life

I had surgery on a Thursday and went home on Friday. The first few days were a little rough, but by Tuesday (5 days after surgery), I could have gone back to work. Even in the first few days after surgery, though, I was ok -- I didn't have any pain by the time I got home from the hospital, and I was able to walk around the house and take care of myself.

on Day 3 I started walking almost 3 miles. Day 4 I felt a little pain when I first stood up or when I sneezed/coughed.

Day 4 felt pretty ok, day five felt really good. And we just won’t talk about day one or two, it’s over now and I won’t have to do it again.

I was sleeved on Monday 11/2 and felt pretty good by Thursday of that week. I'm 13 days out now and feel pretty normal. I made sure to walk even when I didn't feel like it, cough and use the spirometer-thingy and it helped. The first two days were quite unpleasant and I had to train myself to stop gulping my drinks, but it gets better. Good luck - you will be great!!!

I had RNY on a Tuesday. Went home on Wednesday and resumed my workouts on Saturday. I was never in pain and it was really uneventful.

I was sleeved 11/9 went home 11/10 the first couple days I had a lot of energy to walk but felt sore when going from laying to sottingnor standing, I’m 7 days post op now and have only taken Tylenol a couple of times in the past couple of days and am back to work today! More of a discomfort than pain

Surgery completed and out of recovery.
