May 8th. First follow up appointment tomorrow. Doing very well, pain at large incision almost all gone, walking 4-5 miles per day

Glad the information was helpful. If you have any other questions/concerns, please feel free to check in with me. Today is day 10 and the pain in the incision site is almost completely gone. Was able to get on and off the floor to play with the dog last night...that was fun! The head hunger is pretty intense sometimes, I would kill for a cheeseburger!

Well, one week ago I was just about to undergo my initial anesthesia. What a crazy week! Today I am in almost no pain and my incisions have almost all healed. For anyone worried about the surgery, there is some pain, there is an inconvenience factor, but overall no big deal.

I had 5 for the surgery and 1 for the insertion of the pain pump for a total of 6

I asked my nurse what the deal was with mints when I got sleeved last weekend. She told me they increase the risk of reflux, which is why they are on the list of things not to do.

Thanks Hoosier ... Strictly muscle, BM are fine

Sleeved on 5/8 and have encountered no nausea or other side effects. The only thing I have is sharp discomfort in my lower right abdomen. Only hurts when I use the muscle. Dr. Says this is normal. Experience on when this will dissipate?

Getting the operation on 5/8...2 days away! I am so irritable and can't focus at all. I have 2 days of Clear Liquids....can't wait to get this over with!
