I am one week post op. I feel very well. I went in the morning of surgery and had my IV placed,, met with the surgical team for last minute questions and they walked me through what to expect. A catheter was placed and another IV after I was asleep. No drains.
Some discomfort with movement after surgery but not really painful. Up and walking that evening. I was kept overnight and began sipping fluids the next day. Clear Liquids (jello and broth) for lunch and then was monitored as to how well I tolerated these. I went home later in the afternoon the day after surgery. Since being home I have no problems, the discomfort is getting better every day. I do nap each day and keep up my fluids and Protein. My husband was home with me for the days following surgery. I will return to dr office in three more days for follow up. You will do fine and we are there to support you every step of the way.

you are recovering from major surgery. Rest, relax and heal. I know it is boring and doing just liquids is very hard. Walk, sleep and enjoy your time off, the cleaning can wait until you are fully recovered.
Hang in there.

I will be having my sleeve surgery on Tues. 6/5 at Abington Hosp. with Dr. Bonnani.
Nervous but ready to move on to the loser's bench,
Wish me luck!
