Hi fellow December sleevers! I was sleeved on 12/19 and I'm feeling much better. I feel a twinge of pain when I laugh or sneeze, but not as bad as a week ago. I'm returning to normal activity, but I had to take a nap this afternoon. I guess I looked tired since my DH insisted on me getting some rest. Yesterday I walked just over 3/4 of a mile (at my own pace of course) and tried to shoot some basketballs with my 8-yr old. That lasted for all of 5 minutes...
Anyway, I'm excited for what the future holds and I'm glad I'm on the losers' bench. I like how someone here said that this decision was a gift to myself and by extension my loved ones! Cheers and congrats to all for taking this important and critical step forward to longer, healthier and skinnier lives!

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on December 18th and feel terrific. I only had pain one day, but today I have a little heartburn and a stuck feeling (I hope it's gas)....I am glad everyone seems to be doing well, one day at a time is what we have to do.

Yeah, i never had motion sickness before! That was a surprise. Today was much better! How are you doing?

Glad to hear you're feeling better..

With me, the one closest to the internal stitches always hurt the worst.

My whole stomach is still very tender, I was sleeved 12-11 but I do have one site that is definitely more painful than the rest and it's not red/leaking/swollen either. I still do my pain medication once a day and at night if it's bothering me. I know it's hard but our bodies do need time to heal!

I am 4 days post-op. I take my pain meds right on schedule!! I don't want to be in pain..lol. My biggest incision is like someone else said kind if sinks in and above it sticks out. I do have a drain on the same side as well. The big incision is the only one that hurts too. If it wasn't for that I'd probably rarely need my pain meds. Doing good on liquids. Haven't really ventured out to a bunch of choices they have on the full liquid diet just making sure I stay hydrated like my doc said. I go back on Tuesday to have the drain removed:)
Oh and my stomach itches as well. I don't know if the glue is causing it or what. I've had glue on me before when I had my gallbladder removed. I remember my stomach itching then too but I know itching also means it's healing as well.

try gasxstrips for the gas pain. Also how much are you walking? You need to walk at least 3-4 times a day to keep things moving. The walking helps you get the gas moving to get it out, keeps you from developing bllod clots in your legs and from getting constipated. Also make sure you are getting your 48-64 oz of liquids in. If you have pain at an incession site make sure it's not infected..red, swollen or hot to the touch. If it is call Doctor. I developed two himotomams (sp?) where two sites were a little swollen and sore. The Doc told me it was the blood pooled the the muscle tissue and would just take a little longer to go away. If you have any doubts call the Doc for peace of mind if nothing else.. Good Luck and keep us posted

I had to stop the pain meds after day 3, they were taking me waaaaaaaay to far out of my head. So mostly suffering.Hang in there they say it get much better by day 10.

I am also new here.My surgery is scheduled for Dec 28'''good luck to you

Today I had to reschedule my surgery to 12/28. Kinda bummed but as long as i get my surgery!!!!

Okay I am on day 1 of pre op diet.......doing well

Hey Everyone Thank You For All The Support!! Surgery Was Successful & OMG I Wasn't Ready For That Gas Pain Lol

WOO HOO!!! Today is my surgery day!! Happy sleeve B-Day to me!!

Hello ladies! I'm one week away from my WLS (Weds Dec 12). I'm so excited, and feel pretty prepared... I'm actually more nervous about social-situations post surgery when I'm in my weight loss stage than the surgery itself, ha ha ha! I feel like it's an incredible blessing that I get to have this done... So many need it and want it, and don't get to have it paid for by insurance. I just can't tell you what a lucky gal' I am!!!

Hey there!! Good luck with everything! I'm the 10th too!!

Hey! My name is Brooke and my date is December 17th!!

I was sleeved at 28. I chose a higher goal weight (170)- bmi currently 28 i think. so I have zero saggy skin, a round butt and perky breasts still. Plus my weight is easy to maintain

Dec. 4th. There's quite a few of us Decembers--just posting in different places. I'm getting anxious to have this done and behind me, so I can get rid of what's behind me! heehee

M up for my surgery in December. Looking for buddies and friends who are December surgeries! Let's connect and help each other
