I took out a loan against my 401k. I also used my credit card along with a loan from mom.

Thanks for the Soup suggestion. I am sick of broth. I am on my way to Publix:-)

I hope you enjoy taking ballet classes. I would love to learn how to Ice skate despite leaving in Atlanta.:-)

I feel your pain sleeved 12/20/2012. The day my life changed. I wish that i could have my old stomach back. I never experience this much pain. It is very hard to see family and friends enjoying food. I pray that it gets better for you:-) I did not realize how much food gave me comfort.

Hi Teachbear...has your Jp drain been removed? How are you feeling today?

I live in Marietta. I did check to see if there was a current group but the only one that I see that really needs with any regularity is real results.

I had a lot pain too. Did you have a hernia repair, if so that can cause lots of PAIN. I went to see my primary care doctor and she said that the hernia and gas is probably where the bulk of my pain came from....... I had to have my drain in for 10 days and it was hell! Even when I went for my 2 week check up, their was a guy there who was still experiencing some discomfort from that spot too. Think about where its located, that too has a lot to do with it. Mine was right below my boob.... Also, if you had any other surgeries, as this was my 3rd going into my belly button the scar tissue can slow down the healing process............with all that said, you aren't alone. it's only been 6days and while there are lots of people on here who bounce back very fast, we are all different. It gets BETTER!!! Trust me I felt the same as you did at this point and even the doctor said that I was being unrealistic in my expectations on healing.

I'm 2months and 2 days post op, and I feel great!!! ((((Hugs)))) I'm here for you.

Thanks for the advice. This is my first time having surgery so I am not use to pain. I am feeeling better. I hope you have contiune success with your weight journey.

How are you feeling, hopefully after the drain is remove you'll feel better. Dr. Duncan did my surgery as well at Atlanta Medical Center.

The JP drain was removed on Friday. I feel a little better.

You're still in pain? Have you spoken to your doctor? If you have your surgery in a clinic, is that outpatient?

It just seems odd that you'd still be in pain. I had my surgery a day after yours and I haven't been in much pain. My doc manages pain well.

Hello.....::::I was sleeved on 12/20/2012 with Dr. Duncan. I had my surgery at the surgical center not at a hospital. The pain has been

unbearable. I hate feeling helpless. I am having my JP drain removed on Friday. I hope the pain will be better. I am starting to regret this surgery.

I am still having a hard time getting in and out of the bed.

I was sleeved 12/10 & I'm miserable! I was supposed to be on full liquids but can't swallow them with out them feeling like they get stuck, so had to switch back to Clear Liquids. My main incision site hurts very bad & I honestly have had moments I've regretted doing this.. I hope I get to where others are soon because this is awful!

I understand and feel your pain. I was sleeved on 12/20/12. I am still in pain. I do regret this surgery. I hope it gets better for both of us:

I have one it is a pain. i will have mine removed on friday.

i was sleeved on 12/20/12. i hope everyone's surgery went well. i am in a lot of pain regreeting this surgery.

I had my surgery on the20. I wish I could have a good report like you did.

i am so much pain. i regret having this surgery. good luck

Sleeved 12/19. It gets mbetter each day. Walk as much ad possible and sip,sip, and sip. Still havent gotten all my Protein in yet but getting g more and more in each day:-) Hang in there.

i will force my self to walk more it is just painful.

Sometimes i wonder what my surgeon did because i was in Hella pain with my gallbladder removed but i didn't cry not one time with my sleeve

thanks for the advice.

I am in so much pain. i am starting to regret this surgery. i can not sleep. the pain meds. are doing nothing. Is anyone else dealing with this along with a drain pump.
