I had the dreaded drain tube for a week and it was awful! I felt such a relief when mine was removed. I didn't even feel it.

My surgeon refused to do the sleeve for me because of reflux. I had it with my band and it was awful.

For me it's more mental as well. It's like I know to stop. After I'm finished I usually have a little hiccup and that lets me know that I'm full. Right now I'm on pureed foods so I'm sure when I transition to soft foods the feeling will be much different.

I had surgery on 09/24. I took two weeks off from my desk job. After a week I felt like I could have gone back. I went back to work on 10/8 and on 10/9 I passed out and broke my foot in two places. So please don't rush it and make sure that you drink plenty of fluids.

I promise it will pass! I was on liquids for a week after my surgery. It seems like the week went by very quickly. I stocked up on popsicles and broth! My mother-in-law even made me some homemade broth. It flew by. Also I think I was in so much pain the first week after that I really didn't want anything.

I had my band removed in May and had RNY on 09/24. So far I am loving it! I'm never hungry. When I do eat I feel full and satisfied. It's a much different feeling with RNY than the band. It's hard for me to explain the full feeling. But when I'm full I know to stop. It's as if one more bite will send me into vomiting.

It was a first for me! I don't remember anything. I remember getting up to go shower and next thing I was in the floor crying and my husband was crying as well. Definitely scared us both.

Not even going to lie, last week I regretted my decision. I had surgery on 09/24 and went back to work on 10/8. I felt fine. Was getting at least 64oz of water in a day, I'm on pureed food. I was eating correctly. On Tuesday 10/9 I had a syncopal episode. When I went down my right knee landed on my left foot. I ended up with a broke foot in 3 places.

I had my band removed in May, then had RNY on 09/24. My favorite thing to eat right now is sugar free jello cheesecake pudding. I make it with Fairlife Milk and add two scoops of GenePro!

I had RNY and returned after two weeks! I could have returned within a week but I had the extra time and thought I might as well take it!

I'm three weeks post and haven't stepped on the scale yet. I can tell I've lost some by the way my clothes hang. I don't plan on seeing what I weight until I follow up with my doctor.

I am 3 weeks out today, still on pureed food but I find it extremely hard to drink and eat at the same time. I felt that I had a piece of pureed food stuck and took a small sip of water, big mistake. From that point on I have set a timer on my phone for 30 minutes and start drinking then. : )

I have the implant Nexaplanon and I love it! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and had it inserted about a month prior.

I'm in the pureed process as well. I haven't had cravings yet, but I haven't exactly felt hungry either. I'm having to make myself eat and keep a schedule.

Honestly it wasn't that bad! I didn't even feel it. He was talking to me the whole time he did it! I heard him cut the stitch and didn't feel a thing. He held it up and said it's out! I started to cry.

I honestly think it's up to your doctor. My friend had hers done with a different doctor, it was removed before she was discharged. My doctor likes to leave them in for a week.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

I had mine for a week. I was in pure misery. I couldn't walk, it hurt to sit up, and it was super annoying trying to shower. As soon as it came out it felt so wonderful. I didn't even feel it. I felt almost normal. I was able to do pretty much anything.

I didn't even feel it! It was such a relief to have it out!

I'm doing well! Just sipping my liquids and eating puree!

Everything is going great! Just sipping my liquids and eating puree!

Hi All! I had surgery on 09/24. I have a dreaded drain tube. It bothers me when I walk, when I sit, pretty much when I do anything. I have it clipped in to my binder and taped so it doesn’t pull. How many of you felt better once your drain tube was removed? Mine is scheduled to be removed tomorrow.

Hi! I'm packing for my surgery scheduled on 09/24. What were some essentials that you had to have?

Hi! I'm scheduled for surgery on Sept 24. My doctor has brought up the possibility of having to place a G Tube for me. Did anyone have a G tube after surgery?

Hi! I have BCBSTX and it took me 3 weeks to hear back. ☺️
