Keep it at your side
It will help

Had the procedure on Tuesday, 01/12/2016, back home. My abdomen has hurt in my right upper side, take tramadol and feel better. Getting around good. Little bored. Weight down 5 lbs., taking liquids without nausea. Is this normal? How are other sleevers doing? Like to hear from others.

Thank you
It's my left side that hurts not right

I know exactly how you feel! I was at 30 BMI (so just into the obese category) and completely miserable. Self esteem was nothing and I was constantly thinking about the weight. It was torture!! I was trying to lose the weight but had no success.
I went to Mexico and had surgery on July 11 and it was the best decision I've made in a long time. I've got from obese to overweight to normal weight in the 6 weeks since. My BMI has gone from 30 to 23.6 and i feel amazing. It's not easy, but life is so much better than it was 2 months ago.
Some say I wasn't "that big" or think I should have just lost the weight on my own (again, I was certainly trying) and I certainly wouldn't have been a candidate for free surgery under our canadian health care system (or your American insurance). However, the impact of my weight was both physically and emotionally impacting me in a very negative way so that can't be tossed aside. I was suffering and being free from that us honestly the best gift I've given myself!!
