How Rough is the Pain from the Gastric Sleeve?

From the feedback I've received from my patients, the pain experienced after gastric sleeve surgery is generally quite manageable. Most patients report feeling some soreness, but it's not typically described as severe pain. To help you gauge your recovery timeline, it's common for our patients to take the remainder of the week off following their surgery, along with the weekend for recovery. This allows them to rest and heal comfortably.
In many cases, by the time the following Monday rolls around, our patients are often ready to return to work, as long as their job doesn't involve overly strenuous or rigorous physical activity. The key to a smooth recovery is taking it easy, following our post-operative guidelines, and gradually easing back into your normal routine.
Our goal is to ensure that you can get back to your regular activities within about a week, and we provide comprehensive support and guidance to help you achieve a smooth and comfortable recovery process.

Most weight loss surgery is laparoscopic, meaning it is minimally invasive. In these procedures, the surgeon makes several tiny incisions instead of a major cut, resulting in less pain and a shorter recovery time. Usually is minimal, the majority of patients refers the pain is minimal and are very comfortable during the recovery allowing them to move without any discomfort.

Hello, 
Overall feedback from my patients is that it's tolerable and gradually disappear. One will inevitable experience an overall soreness from the surgery and tender incision sites, but surgical practices have devised pretty good pain control regimens that alleviate pain from the operating room through discharge and home. Hope this helps!
Best,
