alr got a reaction from LuckyOne53 in September Sleevers!
I was sleeved on Sept 9. I was reversed from Lap Band. I also had to have my gullbladder taken out. The pain at first was unbearable but I am feeling wonderful now. I tried to go back to work in 6 days. That didn't work out very well for me. I ended up taking off the rest of the week. I am back to work now. I have a desk job and have a little discomfort where my big incision is due to my pants sitting on it all day. I am on soft foods. Everything seems to be going to down great. I can only take 3 bites of my food and then I am full but hungary again in 2 hours or so. I am 2 weeks and 1 day post op and I am down 21 pounds. Still have aobut 70-80 more that I would love to loose.

alr reacted to JCP in Milestone at 2 weeks
Today I am 2 weeks out. I have been one of the patients who has experienced bad pain from internal stirches pulling. It's been so discouraging and I've cried at the drop of a hat, wishing I had not done this. My sweet husband, who has a broken foot, has been working all day then coming home and waiting on me. Well, what do you think? I went to bed hurting last night, woke up with no pain! I kept waiting for it to show up, it's not there! I took a shower, dressed, am sitting outside, no pain! It's a miracle! My stitches are not dissolvable per my physician so who knows! All I know is there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel, for those who are waiting! And guess what else.., I put on makeup and after exactly one month (pre and post-op), I can begin to see my former face emerge. It's been years since I saw that face. I am so happy. God bless us all!
