Greetings Fellow Sleevers! I am 8 days Post Op and doing very well. I've lost 10 pounds and have been following the doctor's orders to the letter. The pain is definitely getting better, but it is not gone by any stretch of the imagination. I'm down to taking the pain meds only at night. By the time 6pm hits, the pain is creeping up on me pretty good. and by 8pm, I am absolutely doubled over with pain. The pain is localized to my right side where one of the incisions are. I told the doctor about this and he said that it was quite normal to have pain there since that is the site where the portion of the stomach was removed.
I really thought that I was going to be able to go back to work in a couple of days, but if I am still having this kind of pain, there is no way I'll be able to work.
Has anyone else underestimated the required time off from work? I'm afraid I may need another week.
