Stacey ~You will need someone to drive you. When I had mine done, they would not even do the procedure unless you had someone with you to drive afterward.

I did not shower until I got home. The IV was in my arm until right before I was discharged. I was really ready for surgery and can't think of anything unexpected. Did you find Lil miss Diva's list of things to bring to the hospital? Best of luck on a speedy recovery. Remember to sip, rest, walk and repeat.

Good feeling isn't it! I went to the hair dresser last night and the regulars all noticed I was really losing weight. Congrats on your progress!

Way to Go and congrats!!!!!

You will completely out. When I woke up after about 15 minutes, I felt rested like I had 7 hours of sleep. Nice.

I will start off by saying everyone is different and I have a very easy (no lifting) job. I was back at my desk at 12 days post op. I could have returned earlier but I went out of town to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. I returned home on day 11 and was at work on day 12. Best of luck to you!

Great news!

Congrats x 2!

There is a product in the feminine hygiene section to soothe and prevent chafing. I have found that it helps.Good luck to you! Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel

Keep it up ... and congrats!

I have UHC, am 47, and have three kids too! Send up prayers for you!

Did they do a leak test after your sleeve surgery? When I had mine they took a picture of my new stomach size/shape. Maybe you can ask to see yours. Also ask what size bougie they used (mine was a 32). It sounds like you do not have the proper amount of restriction from the sleeve. If I were in your position I would be looking for answers too. I am sure other members with a lot more medical background than I have will offer much better advise than I was able to provide. HUGS!

INTJ but my husband is an ESFP. We are complete opposites in our thinking. It makes communication difficult, but we make a great team. We can each cover for the others weaknesses.

Welcome to VST! You will find lots of good people here and tons of great advice. Look around read and ask questions. We are here for support. ~Hugs

You look amazingly happy ... Best of luck on an easy delivery!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just gave you points too. Your reputation is still neutral but you have a count of 4.

You are such an inspiration ... Thanks a bunch for sharing your journey and being a positive influence!

Wonderful news!!!!!

I had three c-sections and the recovery for VSG was much easier. I could walk without any discomfort at all after the sleeve. That was not the case with a c-section. People could tell I was walking funny. It is very interesting to compare the two events. I went into the WLS with the same excitement I did when I was having a baby.

Welcome to the site! As you may have discovered the people on VST are wonderful supporters and advice givers. Look around. Read posts and ask questions. I had my surgery in Atlanta too. Which doctor and facility did you select?

I am so happy for you! You are such an inspiration! Best wishes going out to you this week. ~Hugs

Thanks everyone ... next goal is onderland! That will be an happy day too!

Very happy for you! No one deserves it more!
