Sagging Skin
I'm about your exact stats! Started at 240, now I'm 160. My skin isn't bad at all. I have always worked out, though. Also, my problem areas are my thighs and butt. I have a little loose skin around my thighs, but I think only I notice it. I'm thinking about a tummy tuck and boob lift, but that's from kids more than weight I think.

Anyone from Kansas?
I had my sleeve surgery on 9/28. It gets SO much better. Be patient and give yourself time. I'm still not 100% healed. It's a big learning curve, but I think if you embrace it and enjoy it, you will love it! I had my surgery at Menorah in Overland Park

Urinary retention/ catheterization 3 weeks post-op
I had it right after surgery. But my catheter was out after a week. It might be related to a drug you are taking. I would HIGHLY recommend you go to a urologist, not your surgeon. The surgeon will most likely not know much about it. When I saw the urologist they were extremely helpful. Are you still taking pain meds?

Focus sidelined. Feeling stuck.
Very sorry to hear this. So discouraging. Take care of yourself and I've said a prayer for you.

Left hip pain
I get it-but mine is from sleeping on that hip. Bursitis. The thing that helps mine the most is going to the chiropractor. Yours sounds a bit different, but could be less cushion in that area? Mine will hurt badly too when I am not laying on it.

Very unpleasant post op day 6 & 7.
When I had my surgery, I had drug induced urinary retention. I could feel the urge to pee but couldn't go. Had a catheter for a week. It sucked and of all the things I was surely not prepared for that!

Really Struggling Post-Surgery-Need Help!
I'm about exactly the same as you! I'm 21 days and was starting to do a bit better but the fluids are so difficult. Water still hurts. My dr has me doing diluted apple juice with no sugar and add lemon to water. It helps but I'm nowhere near 64 oz. my dr says do the best I can and I'll get there. I'm making sure I do a protein shake and feel like I'm drinking constantly.

Stomach gurgling?
Me too. It's annoying but I know it's temporary.

Lest than a week post op
I freaked out because I did to much and started having deep pain like I pulled something. My dr said it's pretty common and take it easy. I did for a few days and it's much better. Yesterday I had a sneezing fit and hurt my right side. I think this early on its two steps forward and one back. One thing my dr did say is be careful using pain meds and doing too much because it doesn't hurt. Good luck!!
