Lol good luck if you go home same day.you can't be that tough.has anyone told you it's a major surgery. I stayed 2nights and 3days and wish it was longer .I had to go back in 2 days later to get rehydrated it's no joke. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I'm learning the hard way.I've just started softeners. Omg constipation has been by far the worse part of this whole process so far. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

You look good.but if you took that k.c. hat and shirt off and replaced it with a tigers hat you'd be better. Lol Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hi,OK ill give you some info.right out of surgery I was drugged up on morphine. Thirsty as hell couldn't drink anything for 6 hrs then I got ice cubes lol,once I finally realized what was going on it felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. I hit the morphine button every 10 min to take care of the pain.I haven't puked yet and I'm out three weeks.I felt so good when they discharged me that I could have skipped to my car.then 2hrs after I got home I crashed hard.I got my first migraine headache of my life couldn't drink anything got dehydrated and had to get admitted back into hospital. Long story short the couple days of pain is totally worth it.I've slammed hand in a car door before and it hurt twice as bad as the entire sleeve process.

I'm sure it depends on the insurance co.I had bcbs and they looked 4 years back in my history. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I went back after 10 days,Dr said listen to my body if it hurts then stop.I was put on desk duty and found out that the constant up and down getting out of the chair aggravated the big incicion. So I took Friday and today off and going back tomorrow. Goodluck Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My Dr told me the number 1 cause of constipation is being dehydrated. I'm having the same problems.I've also take milk of magnesea. It takes time but it works. It caught me in the garage the other day and I had to throw my pants away.lok Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Yes it will change after to get blended foods.I was starving on the liquids Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I went with sleeve because my Dr strongly encouraged it I'm only 37 he thought I would recover alot faster so I trusted him.up until today I haven't had a single issue really.I ate too fast and ended up throwing up.I knew it would happen sometime.wasn't that bad though.my bmi was 51 when I started if you haven't yet go to a gym and start getting into the routine of working out.if I could give any mental advice I would slowly start giving things up so you start getting use to not having a few things.

My insurance company said they can go back four years to see your history Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Is it possible all the fluids they pumped into you took maybe a week to pee out.my nurse told me it's not uncommon to gain 20-30 PDS after surgery cuz of it. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I'm guessing more head hunger then anything it seems like this surgery is 99% mental then anything else.I guess part of me is a little surprised that I got my appetite back so soon after surgery. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for your reply. They've already let do some cream soups with unflavored Protein in it so I'll keep plugging along and see what happens. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hello all.I'm brand new to the forum and from what I see I'll love it.the question I have is I'm 6 days post op and I feel like wanting to eat everything in sight,I'm getting a bottle and a half of liquids in a day so far and almost two Protein shakes,it just feels like I'm starving all the time,I was sleeved,the first few days I didn't want nothing but now it's the opposite. Will this pass thanks for any info. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I'm a factor five carrier I just had my sleeve March 3rd.I was told by the hematologist that it wasn't a bug deal pre op but he gave me eliquis to take for 30 days post op to prevent clots. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App
