Thank you! I am feeling better today than I have the other days that I've been home. I'm not the kind that really "takes it easy" and that really bit me in the butt. The day after I got home I went grocery shopping with my sister, got extremely hot and felt terrible the rest of the day. I've found a pretty good balance between activity and rest the last two days and today I felt great. Also, the gas pains have gone away for the most part which has been the most painful part for me. If I'm being honest, I don't eat or drink as much as they told me too because I feel like I physically can't. It took me two days to eat a whole container of yogurt lol

Hi! I just joined the site tonight. Had my sleeve July 25th and so far so good!!

I started my period the day before my surgery (of course!). I was embarrassed but the nurses were so great, they were very accommodating and didn't make it awkward at all. You do have to wear there stretchy white undies and use pads, no tampons. And they do catheterize you, which is uncomfortable but for me came out as soon as I was able to get up and walk. After they took my cath out I was able to go into the bathroom and get cleaned up and everything was fine. It's really only awkward for us as the patients, my nurse told me they see it all time with us being so nervous and whatnot before surgery (people starting early) so no worries

Hi! I'm 23 and just had the sleeve July 25th if you'd like someone to talk to!

I'm pretty shocked that you're easily able to consume that much! I haven't been drinking OR eating as much as they tell me I should because I physically CAN'T, it hurts!

Hello! This is my first post, I had my sleeve on July 25th and am really looking to connect with other ladies that had their procedure around the same time I did. Looks like I may have found the right thread
