Pain
i am currently 3 weeks and 3 days post sleeve. I am having intermittent pain at site of removal tobthe point that's it's debilitating. I have seen doc about 10 days ago for same and he said most likely muscle pulling as it continues to heal. Anyone else experience this? Any remedies to relieve? I never even took narcotics post surgery except Tylenol w codeine to sleep
If you're experiencing debilitating pain, you should be taking pain medication. Pain causes your body to tense, which prevents healing.
You might also consider trying a heat pad or ice pack.

If you are still feeling pain to the point where it's debilitating you need to head back to your doc.
At three weeks out pain that severe isn't normal and at the very least warrants a call to the nurse in your surgeon's office. This is the time to be that squeaky wheel until your situation is addressed.
