Have u had ur surgery yet?? how many days or weeks has it been?

i didnt have any special soap to use, but doctor told me no lotions or deodorant day of surgery

I also am band to sleeve, 3 weeks out. i am still out and will be going back to work next week. Recovery was wasn't too bad for me. Not alot of pain just sore. I stayed in the hospital for two nite and that was the only time i used any pain meds. I too find that i get tired fast, but i would do it again in a heart beat!!! I love my sleeve!!! Oh, and i am down 20lbs!

WOW!!! Congrates to u!!!

my pain right after surgery was maybe a 5. i think i was more sore than anything. I also had my surgery at a surgery center. 3 hours after surgery i had to get into a van ( still hooked up to my IV) and was driven to the hospital. it was a twenty minute drive. I finally asked for pain meds around 10pm that nite just so i could fall asleep!

Congrates for taking that first step!!! how r u feeling?

Sorry to hear this, but i know how u feel. When did u have surgery? i slept in a recliner for a week. it just hurt too much to get out of a bed. but into my second week i was able to get back into my bed. so it will get better!!!

WOW!!! U look great! Congrates!!!

U look great! Congrates!!

I had my surgery at a surgery center and my doctor gave me a heating pad right after surgery and let me take it with me to the hospital.

I packed everything that u have but only used my toothbrush and toothpaste. my hospital wanted me to stay in the hosptials gowns and they gave me the non-slip socks.

lol, not laughing at u, but this also happened to me but the gum also pulled out my tongue ring! i swallowed the metal ball and i was freaking out! called the ER and my doctor. They both told me if i start to feel sick to go stright to the hospital for xrays. if not it will come out the other end, sorry if tmi!

i drove the second week, but didnt go far. just around town. but check with ur doctor.

not really pain, just sore. i slept in a recliner for a week cause it was just easier to get up. u dont realize how many muscles u use to get up.

i went home in a van. just make sure u take a pillow with u to hold up against ur stomach. it helps going over bumps in the road!
