My doc said absolutely. No NSAID can cause problems I take a small amount of pain mess a tsp. just to help but stay alert. Call your doc.

I am 7 days post op and I will see doc on Wednesday. I thought the cramps were healing pains? I hve no real issues other than time. After released fr hospital, 3 days of liquid 4 th day add protein shakes I was surprised my tummy did not mind shakes it took all day to drink two. Today I started putting crystal light with water hopefully my tummy will like it. This is truly a discovery journey. Good luck

Get biotene mouth spray and mouth wash it helps.

I am 7 days post op although we all heal differently I am not ready each day gets better I feel that the ananestia is completely gone not much gas no nausea but I know I am not 100%. Still trying to figure out my new tummy what temperature of water goes down better cold room temperature etc. Scares are healing some soreness. I tell u a lot of changes, I think if u can take time off do so. According to my doc it takes three weeks b4 everything is out of your system and weight really starts coming off. He also said there is a 7 day window for blood clots. Listen to your body. Good luck I go see my doc on Wednesday hopefully I will b released to drive.

Congrats allow yourself time to heal this is a new tummy do what they tell u sip walk allow rest and naps so u can heal understand u must heal good luck

What is really sad to me is that people feel they r obligated to tell others about a decision they made for themselves I bet no one went to the individuals of concern asking thier opions whether or not they should hve the surgery or which surgery they should have. Really sad because most of the people u are concerned about telling probley thought when u were heavy that u should do something about your weight whether they said it or thought it we all know the sterotypes people hve about overweight people no matter how smart or well you do your job. So now you hve become proactive in prolonging your life, u feel you hve to explain explain explain. I just don't get it. My plan has always been to say I am on a supervised medical eating and exercise plan that is working for me. End of story. If they cannot respect that, they probley will be negative if you gave them more details.

I am 6 days post op my surgery was on 10/29 i received a lot of fluids in the hospital, I hve some swelling and water retention in my legs. I feel blotted all the time. My doc said it will take time I will see him next week, he may give me a water pill to get rid of some water. Anyone experience this. With that being said I have not lost any weight I have gained weight on clear liquids. Today I just started protein drinks:(

My stomach makes noise and grips then a little pain does that mean to feed it or what I am on broth popcycles until tomorrow then add shakes. Your knowledge is appreciated

I am 5 days out and feel pretty good still issues with gas movement it does get better day by day. Hang in there

I am more consent about the gripping and then pain comes how long will that last

Thanks I was taking pain meds when I read suggestions I immediately went for a walk took gas x strip and it helped thanks. I will b glad when the gas issue is over but I am ok with the process, I thank God I hve not had any major issues thxs for being there.

Came home 10/31 today is my first full day home. Getting used to my new stomach. Eating only popcycles,broth and water for 2 more days then adding protein shakes oh and walking a little every 4 to 5 hrs. taking it easy. Praise God I had very little pain, gas or acid nothing I could not handle. No real appetiate legs feel a little heavy have to keep them up. I want to know how everyone else is doing

Gsu u may want to try broth SF popcycles and water sip sip sip. It truly is challenging and time consumming. I am glad I don't hve to go right back to work, I still need to regain my strength, jst keep going each day wb better. Good luck we must encourage each other stay in touch. If anyone wants to send me a message do so I am here to support anyone on this journey forgive my spelling

My doc said for 3 days try broth chicken or beef (I got wylers cubes put in cup of water heat up good to go, popcycles until Sunday then I add protein. It had taken me till right now to figure how to sip so no air comes in. It is different I take my meds every 4 hrs pain or no pain so I can sleep get my body healing. My doc said for the first couple of days take meds. I take gas x and previcid it helps. It will get better. Good luck

I would say continue your vitamin regin. I never took anything but biotin so I could strengthen my hair. I am 3 days post op and my surgeon has said nothing about vitamins yet he probley will when I go in for my 7 day check up next week.

Doing good wb going home today. Tryin to figure stuff out like u praise god no real problems jst moving along. Keel in touch

Hi all just wanted to say today is the day and I am on my way to the hospital thanks again for all the sleevers out there who dare to dream of a better life. See u on the sleevers bench because non of us are rely losers we are WINNERS!!!!!

Boston just would like to share I am amazed myself I had no stress at all I don't know if I mentioned I have a tendency to clot, once that issue was resolved it was all good. This has been my approach; the core of who I am stayed on the OR the new person went to recovery. All things r new in this new world of my relationship of eating, therefore I not only changed my perspective I am open to ALL things being new and different. For this I praise God for because now I step into a new demintion of me.

Guys this is by far the painless experience I hve ever had granted still on meds all in all good. For those of you that pray ask god for a smooth recovery and from the moment you ask every day u.til your sugery say thank you, for a smooth recovery. This is why my surgery went well, plus I hve a tendency to clot. All I can say is god is sooooo good. Hope to go home tomorrow.

Today is the day it is 12:21 am and I am excited my surgery is at 1:00 pm PST. I want you all to know that your comments hve been a blessing and a knowledge booster. Thanks see you on the losers bench. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!

I hve had a filter placed since 2008. When it comes to clots the risk factor is not taking precaution. My doc was going to put a temp filter in me until he read I had already had one. But I still hve to hve blood thinners after surgery like all his patients. Be blessed

I am goin in with u at 1:00 pm PST I cannot wait I hve been on protein shakes since 10/15 and wb on protein shakes 2 weeks after surgery. I am excited no worries, I trust God he has our back so I ám confident that everything will b well. I pray for sleevers everyday. God bless all of us, this is best time of our lives, not many people in our situation will hve this opportunity not because they dont hve insurance or money to pay, but because they are not aware of the possibilities embrace the change. You will hve to do the work so what it was VERY hard work to be fat. Lol
