Hi, I had my sleeve surgery on Jan. 15 so I am exactly one week post op. It has been so VERY painful. I have been eating and drinking as directed and am passing gas, burping and having regular bowel movements. Instead of gas pains, it feels like I have been shot! My left side is swollen around the main incision. My post op X-Ray showed no leaks. Every time I twist or turn (not exaggerated) I feel like my muscle or stomach that has been sown is ripping!!!! Excruciating pain!!! Like scream out loud hurting. I'm still on pain meds (Percocet) every 3-4 hours just to tolerate pain. I get up and walk so it's not gas. Is this normal??? It's been this bad since the surgery. Good news is I have lost 20 lbs. including pre surgery diet.
