How Rough is the Pain from the Gastric Sleeve?

The Pain after a Gastric Sleeve is generally very minimal.  Most of my patients are up and walking within a couple hours of surgery, and have very minimal, if any, pain by the next day.  If you are experience unusual pain from surgery, you should contact your physician.

You may feel pain at your incision site or from the position your body was in during surgery. Some patients also experience neck and shoulder pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. ... Although it is normal to experience some discomfort after surgery, keeping your pain under control is necessary for recovery.
