    Default intense leg and hip pain only 6 days post op...

    Hi there my name is Sarah I just had gastric sleeve surgery six days ago… I have NOT AND DO NOT regret the surgery at all… But I am having a pretty horrible rough time recuperating. I recently have had to be hospitalized twice for dehydration but now tonight what I am most intensely experiencing is severe hip, leg and lower back pain? Has anyone else experienced that? Among other things has been a complete inability to get liquids down and intense emotional upheaval of my soul but like I said I know that I do not regret the surgery I just had no idea what I was getting my self into, or how tough recovery Would be tomorrow is my seventh day and I hope I WILL turn the corner Soooooon!!!

    Hope you feel better soon. I didn't have anything like that and didn't get dehydrated. What helped me was using a child's sippy cup and just continuously sipping I also set a timer on my phone for every 10 minutes to drink. I think the most important thing of all though is to follow your doctor's instructions exactly. Good luck to you.

    I had intense leg pain from too little potassium. I started putting 1/2 a banana in my protein shake and it took care of it. Good luck!!
