I have a job similar to yours @shirleyjohn001. I had my surgery on Wednesday and I started back at work on Monday. I had no problems at all. Hope that helps:)

I just looked this up after reading this thread... I am so excited to try it. It looks fantastic!!

So very true!! The first day was pretty rough but by day two I was feeling SO much better! Hang in there- I'm on day 5 now and feeling great!! Good luck to everyone going in today! Woo hoo!!

Good luck to everyone getting their sleeves today!! Sending lots of happy thoughts your way!!! Congrats!!

Awesome!! I am also 3 days out. Starting to feel a bit more normal (that horrid gas pain is starting to release it's grip) I am just so happy to start the next chapter in my life!! Congrats!!!

It's done!! My surgery was Wednesday the 22nd. The doctor said my sleeve came out perfect. The only complaint I have was the freaking pain from the gas they fill you with!! Uhggg... it was awful! However I left the surgery center about 3 hours after my sugery. The more I walked the better it got. Now I am 3 days out and the pain is still in my shoulder and collar bone but I am MUCH better than that first day!! That being said it was SOOOOO worth it!! I am super excited to start my new life!!! Yay!! For all of you about to get your sleeve- it is SO worth it. A little pain and discomfort in exchange for a lifetime of health! I do also want to mention that I never even took any of the pain meds they sent me home with. I was afraid they would make me groggy and I felt I could deal with the pain better without them. So, if you are planning on taking the pain meds- it should be a piece of cake for you!!

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum. I am so excited- I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on July 22nd. 7 days to go!! WOO HOO!! I am a little nervous but mostly just excited to get it done!
