Have you been trying to walk around?

Congrats to everyone getting sleeved today! Best wishes!

No problem I hope all goes well for you.

How long ago was your surgery?

Congrats on your surgery date. Hope all goes well. To answer your question I didn't have an issue swallowing my own saliva. Im a little over a week out and I can tell the difference in the amount of water I'm able to consume. I was taking tiny tiny sip of water the first few days, but now I can actually drink maybe an oz at a time

Susan and Diva thoughts and prayers to the both of you. Hope you both have great recoveries.

I'm going to try and make it. I haven't been to a support group yet either.. but I am curious to go and meet different people.

Emory midtown and dr is Srinivasan. She great. I think all the emory locations are connected and soon the whole bariactrics dept will be at the midtown location... I'm not for sure though

At greenfamily004 thanks for the welcome and congrats to you on your weight loss so far!! You are doing great!

Thanks for the welcome!! I had my surgery at Emory, if anyone has any questions I'll try and answer.

I had my surgery on 2/18 and I had the same type of feelings before. Wondering if something would go wrong or if I would be the very small percentage that would not make it through at all. I tried not to dwell on it so much and just prayed when I started to think like that. Dr said my surgery went great and I feel pretty good now just to be 1 week post op.

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum and I'm in marietta. I was sleeved on feb 18th.

Hey I'm 5'2 and just got sleeved on 2/18. I haven't talk with the dr about a goal weight yet. I will see what she saids when I go for my 1 month post op. As for me I have to see. I at least want to get to 150 and go from there.

Definitely go by your dr orders. Just from the comments I read so far everyone seems to have differences. I had surgery on Feb 18th and started protein and vitamins after I got home. Surgery day was considered day 0 and I had nothing at all. Then on day 1 and 2 I was on clear liquids. And day 3 starter full liquids and was able to start my protein and vitamins. I am taking chewable multi vitamins

I was also sleeved on feb 18th. I hope everyone is doing well. To me the pain has really eased up a good bit.

I was sleeved on mon feb 18th and was in the hospital until wed day afternoon. I hope everyone is recovering well and best wishes to all that have not had their surgery yet.
