    I was sleeved on 9/6. I simply told my co-workers and boss that I was having "surgery". Since I have been back to work, I have only had one co-worker ask me flat out what I went in for. I told her I had weight loss surgery, but that I would appreciate it if she would keep that to herself. She told me I looked good, and that was that. I had not planned on telling anyone, but did not want to lie either.

    It is not any bodies buisness. I have not told very many people. When I am scheduled I am going to say the same thing. I am having a procedure done. It's personal.
    Leave it at that.
    Wishing you the best.

    I've only told a few people, for similar reasons. I'm about 12.5 hours away from being on the operating table, and I'm planning on telling most people after the surgery is done.

    Ok, so I was originally scheduled for October 20th, but now they moved it to October 13th! I am feeling every singe emotion there is out there. I am more excited than anything, but also scared, nervous, anxious...EVERYTHING! I almost cried today making a cup of pumpkin coffee, thinking about how I won't be able to have it for a long time. I am so ready to give up a lot of foods, as my eating of them in large quantities is what got me to this point.
    I have a super supportive husband, which is helping me out a lot. Just so many emotions!

    I was sleeved yesterday morning. I felt pain yesterday and was super tired. Today I am just sore & have minimal pain. I actually haven't taken very much pain medication today. Walking definitely helps with gas. I was told from the beginning I am staying til Wednesday. It will be nice to be at home! Good luck to everyone recovering and about to get sleeved!!

    I also had no pain, but spent only 8 hours as an Outpatient, and took one Tramadol as a precaution at home. It is simply mind boggling how we all have such different experiences. Fear of surgery was the worst. After surgery, it was At least ten times easier than I expected.

    Nausea too! My surgeon is going to take as much precaution because I am an extra nauseous person. I am telling my anesthesiologist that in am as well. I have all my pain meds ready to go and meds for nausea so Im hoping for the best. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Oh well at least you have that. I had to do a 12 week class and if I gained, my doctor would not operate. When I graduated, I had lost 19.6 pounds.
    The day of surgery, I laid on a bed and they attached me with my IVs. When they said it's time, I blacked out. Lol. Then I woke up with a breathing mask on my face. I remember it was sooo itchy. A lot of people have bad experiences with recovery. I am very lucky because my recovery was very smooth. I felt normal pain but that is something you deal with on your own. To this day, 7 weeks post-op, I still have not felt hunger pains.
    I had nothing but broth, Water and ice chips. The beef tastes the best! Other than that, the nurses check in here and there with meds. I had my own room, which was good because I kept getting up to try to pass gas. Walking didn't work for me. But remember, it does go away. Lol. I cried because I thought I'd have it forever.

    I can't help but laugh as my surgeon said he found a hamburger in a stomach so what we ate he would find. I was scared he would find pizza in my stomach!
