Had my sleeve on the 13th of March and down 25lbs. Last 2 weeks have just been up and down a lb. Or 2. It is very normal, your body has to adjust to all the changes and then it will take off again. I work as a CNA with bariatric patients and it is definitely different being on the other side. Keep up the good work and good luck on all your journeys. Sent from my Vortex using VST

Day 6 of pain I finally went to Dr. They think I might have tore some of the muscle I side. Said that muscle and stitches dont get along to well and it takes a long time to heal. I was just told to take it easy and not lift more than 10 lbs. If it doesn't get better they said that we could do a scan to make sure it isn't something else. This is day 8 and it is gradually getting better. Still can't sleep on right side but I'm trying to take it easy cause I need to go back to work in 3 weeks - mad at myself for playing Superwoman when I know better. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

My surgery was March 13. I only took pain meds for first few days. At 2 1/2 weeks I was feeling really good - maybe to good. This weekend I lifted an ice chest and now when I get up and down it feels like my insides are ripping. Very painful. My larger incision is on my right side and they told me that is where the mist pain will be due to cutting through muscle and such. Hate the pain meds but looks like I might need to take it to help me heal through this sharp pain. Hope it goes away soon.

I had my surgery on the 13th and my birthday is today. It was a bday present to myself. You have to remember why you are doing it. I'm enjoying my Krystal light and my flowers on this 39th bday. Good luck!

I just had surgery on March 13 by Dr Valentine. Awesome Dr.

I just had surgery on March 13th as a birthday present to myself to get healthy. Only 3 days post op I'm know I'm having similar thoughts as I'm sure some do - did I do the right thing? I am feeling pretty good for the most part - very little pain but a lot of gas. I have been sticking to my diet pretty faithfully although it has been tough. I'm not really hungry just want to taste " real" food. I just keep telling myself this is temporary and will be well worth it when I can shop for cute clothes that will actually fit. I'm excited for this new journey.
