I had my sleeve surgery on a Monday and went back to work the following Tuesday. No pain pills needed. I have a desk job and had no problems...not tired or anything and this was after a 5 day hospital stay due to complications from my band that I had removed a month prior. I had alot of swelling and could not swallow a sip of Water..so they would not let me leave until I could. But 3 days home and I was ready to go back to work

I am May 19th ...Best of luck to you !!!!!!!

I get sleeved Monday and feel ready! Anyone have any tips of ways to prepare home for post surgery (foods/pillows etc)? Or anything you were so happy to have in the hospital from home ?

I'm supposed to be in there one night! My husband will stay with me so that's a comfort. food funerals all weekend til Sunday night.

Congrats to all sleeved, recovering and pending

Congratulations...I hope to join you at the same party one day soon!!!

Congratulations !! Sounds like you are off to a great start

Wow.. that is awesome !! I will look into that ..thanks

Only one nite in the hospital -wow - I hope I am that lucky !

Are you taking any Vitamins yet ?? Or do you have to wait a few days ? What kind are you going to be taking ( I am going shopping this weekend- but not sure what to pick up)

Divadee35.. How long were you in the hospital ?? What are you drinking now?

Best of luck to you !! I am 4 days after you !

My Dr only requires one day of liquids 24 hours prior to surgery ...It is strange how every Dr has their own plan. What are doing as far as Vitamins for after surgery ... I am very confused on what to get...

Congratulations !!! I am May 19th ...

CONGRATULATIONS !! I had my lap-ban removed on 4/14 and had to wait 5 weeks for the sleeve which will be 5/19...I thought the time would never come buy the weeks have flown by ..so don't worry..it will be here before you know it !

Rocangela..

Don't be worried.. I had my band since 2008 and had it removed on 4/14. My surgery was 7:30 am and I was on my way home by 10:30am. Never needed a pain pill ! I went back to work on Wednesday ( I could have easily gone back Tuesday..but I had already planned to be off- so I stayed home). My doctor will not do both at the same time either- he feels the stomach needs to reshape and heal. I am getting sleeved on 5/19 ! They did get approval for both surgeries at the same time. It was two separate approvals, but I rec'd them on the same day.

Congratulations !!!!!

Dear BrickHouse,

Thanks for the advice!! ...CVS has that sale going on now, so I will go stock up this week.

I was wondering the same thing ..where is Kyle??

I will be joining the May Sleevers on the 19th so I am getting everything ready. I am having a hard time figuring out the best Multi-Vitamin and calcium citrate to purchase now to have at home for after surgery....There are so many choices in the stores and online...So I would like some first hand recommendations...

Thanks!

Hi Everyone...

I am starting to get everything I need for post-op and I am stuck on the Vitamins,

so I am hoping you can offer some advice.

Must they be chewable or liquid ? The B-12 and Vit D I take now are very small so I thought I could continue with them..But the multi w/iron and calcium citrate are horse pills ! Besides the chewable kin- I see they make "petites" (both CVS brand and Citrical) ..would they be good??? I have gone to the store at least 5 times, stood in the Vitamin aisle for an hour each time and left empty handed..so any advice would be appreciated ! Thanks !!

Best of luck to you !! I am sure you efforts will be worth it in the end ...

I had my band removed on 4/14 and I am scheduled for the sleeve on 5/19 ...I can't wait !!

Best of Luck to you !!!!!!! Sending good thoughts your way

Hope you are feeling better !!

Did something cause this or does it just happen???

What were your symptoms ?? Is it common ??

My surgery is in a couple of weeks, so I get nervous when I hear of things like this!!

Thanks
