For me pain was nonexistent. I had single site so not sure if that played a role. But I also had no pain with my c section in 2010.... Must be a freak of sorts

Everyone is doing great! Congrats. My starting weight: 332 Day of surgery: 300 Current weight: 258.5 A total of 72.2, 41.5 since surgery on 12/10. Definitely feel like a alow loser compared to some but I'm learning to accept my journey as my own and not compare. When have I ever lost 72lbs! Let alone 41 in 3 months!

Lol I didn't read all 31 pages of replies but had to offer chime in. I too am a thread killer. On baby center in my signature it says aka thread killer! Oh and my name is Kristie too! Weird...

Call the hospital and ask. I would want to know bc they make you take off all your clothes when you put the gown on. And I don't know if you csn use a tampon. Just call

Hi all! I was sleeved 12/10. The start of my journey I was 332. Day of surgery 300 Today I'm 260! Down a total of 71lbs (40 of that since surgery). Overall i think I'm doing great. Some days are better than others. Some days I have trouble getting all my fluids in. But I always get my protein and vitamins in. The last 8 days I was on a business trip to Atlanta. A couple days we had to eat out. Went to steak and shake one day on our way to the client and I got a chees burger with no mayo and I took off the top bun. I ate just a little more than half. 2 other times we ate at a bbq place. And again I tried to pick the healthiest options. Even with that though 6 months ago I would of easily eaten a double cheeseburger meal with a large fry and a large coke. That day I had half of a single with no top bun. So it's definitely an improvement! And any time I can lose 71lbs I'll take it

Woohoo! Good luck. Keep us posted.

Did your hospital give you a bear or other stuffed animal to press against your tummy? That's what I used the first few weeks postop to help when I sneezed or coughed.

Oh and I have a desk job. I was out from 12/10 and returned in 12/26. So 2 weeks.

When i went on leave for my surgery my paperwork stated that I was having surgery. It didn't say what kind. When I returned my return to work slip just said abdominal surgery and no heavy lifting until the end if January. HR never asked what I had done. Now I'm trying g to get aflac to pay me for being out for those 2 weeks. We shall see

I'm no help. I followed what my doctor said to follow. Felt it was for my own safety. Is this for preop?

Couldn't agree more! Sex post op and now down a total of almost 70lbs has made a HUGE difference in our sex life. While going through the preop steps from end of august until getting sleeved 12/10 I just wasn't into it at all. Partial due to stress partially due to I just felt disgusted with myself and sex wasn't fun anymore. But now.... We are doing things we never did before! Love my "chewie"

Thanks!

I could from my highest weight which was when I met my surgeon in august. I was 332 that day, and dos I was 300, today 263. So i count them all.

The one on the left is me prego the other is today. Down almost 70lbs.

Hey all. I did not read through all the posts but seems like everyone is doing great! Congrats to you all! I was sleeved 12/10. I'm down a total of 69lbs. 37lbs since surgery the rest was preop. I was doing my own little diet in prep of surgery. And then lost 15 on the liquid diet. I find some days I'm hungrier than others. I have been slipping up a bit. Letting a few more carbs in than I would like. But I find I feel better if I have some. I'm trying to start working out more but my schedule is crazy and I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. But I'll get it figured out. Keep up the good work!

I was sleeved 12/10 and all I did was burping the first week. I never passed gas until a week or a week in a half postop.

Glad you called!

Have you had a bm recently? I was told if I had distention to call my surgeon. I know you have no other symptoms but can't hurt to call if you're worried about it. Hope you feel better.

93 since surgery? How the hell did you do that lol. Good job by the way.

I'm a freak and had no pain with either. The nurses for both procedure were dumbfounded. My c section they did not cut through my muscle so I'm assuming that made a big difference. And for the sleeve I had single site incision. Never had pain with either.

Same here. No shaving for 48hrs before and had to shower twice with hibicleanse.

That was supposed to read "do share the recipe"

Pammycakes, now the real question is.. Did you wake up in the same gown you went into surgery with? I had that realization about 6 weeks postop and got so disgusted. I know I was sprawled out on that table butt ass naked. I got tiny girls so I'm sure there was no taping going on for me lol. Hope surgery went well!
