8 days post op
I went to my post op appointment yesterday and I may doctor asked me if I was feeling bloated. I told him "YES" and he said it is due to gas aka air in my colon. The best thing I could do is walk to get rid of it.

Surgery Oct 8
You'll do just fine. Just make sure you get up and walk every hour and every 3 hours during the night, walk for 5-10 minutes each time. This will help with the gas pains and if you shrug your should from front to back and back to front it will help with the should pain. Also make sure you take 10 deep breathes every hour

How many if you lost weight during preop?
I didn't lose any weight during my pre-op. I was sleeved on Friday Oct. 2 and I have already lost 6lbs. I am still very bloated and still have some gas pains but nothing unbearable. I returned to work on Monday. I have a office jobs and were I am able to get up and walk every hour so it helps out a lot.

Two days post op surgery Friday Oct 2
I am two days post op from being sleeved and I am feeling great. Very little pain, the only pain that I experienced was chest pain do to having a hernia repaired in my stomach. Also I have small throat so they went to put the tract down my throat the first is was to big. So I end up losing my voice and it's finally coming back. I think with me following my doctors orders by getting up and walking every hour helped to a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much, I am nervous because I really dislike using pads and if I have to get up and walking around I am like you I would much rather use the diaper. I just hope I will either start in the next couple of days of wait until after.
