I had surgery yesterday August 15. The nurses say I'm the best the recovery from the sleeve. Got my room at 1252pm took a nap until 210 then asked to walked. I did 3 laps around the floor (17 is a mile) before I got tired and weak. Then 450pm comes and I walked more 5laps this time before I got tired and week. Then 736pm around and I feel like that's normal to feel all this e energy. This time I walked 26 laps which is 2 miles in one day. I have not felt much pain only nacreous once at that was at midnight. Other wise I feel great Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told we can drink up until our meal nothing with it and wait 30 minutes before drinking after meal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You can do this, so exciting your surgery is almost here, I had my surgery on the 11th doing well, I was very worried before surgery about gas pain I heard they were awful. A friend of mine had this surgery and she told me it was very important to walk as soon as they would let me which I did so I walked often in the hospital after surgery I was sleeved on the 11th and went home on the 12th. No problem with any gas pains. I too had headaches on the liquid diet. I attributed to no coffee. Good luck with your surgery. Thank you for the advice. I will be walking around as much as they let me. I want to be able to go home to be with my daughter. Thanks will keep posted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I do plan on it. They said there would be one there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is a HUGE problem, in my opinion, and borders on malpractice. This is NOT a surgery to be taken lightly or to consent to without extensive teaching about the reality of having 3/4 of your stomach removed. My program has what's called a Bariatric Pathway that you HAVE to complete prior to having an appointment with a surgeon to even discuss which surgery, etc. On average, it takes 4-8 months to complete. We have to meet with dietitians numerous times, go to classes about food, exercise and wellness. I had to have all my health screening requirements for an entire year completed before I could see the surgeon (for me, that was a pap smear, mammogram and colonoscopy). We have an occupational therapy class, as well as body fat analysis and a resting metabolic rate test. We also have to attend support group monthly prior to surgery and quarterly after, and we have an in-depth psychological screening. It just seems so very, very wrong that someone can get to the Saturday before a Monday surgery and have had no classes with nutrition and only 1 contact with a surgeon. Mommylove2014, you will see your surgeon for about 45 seconds on Monday before you're on the OR table and asleep. The people you'll see when you go in for surgery are surgery experts, but they have zero information about post-op care, unless you're having surgery in a place that only does bariatrics. I urge you to do as much online research as you can in the next 36 hours, and if you still don't know the answer to 'can I ever have a burrito again?', consider postponing your surgery until you can complete the needed educational steps to gain an understanding of the enormity of what you're getting ready to do. I don't see how any surgeon or surgical team with any professional scruples could have you sign a consent form without understanding the rudimentary needs of post op life. I wish you all the best, and any irritation in my writing isn't toward you, but toward medical practitioners who don't properly educate their patients. I didn't have to do the classes due to me doing nutritional classes with my primary care doctor. I did the psych exam. I was given a lot of information at my binder appointment on the 3rd so much information I was just asking because I forgot to ask when I was there. Every practice is different normally this practice u have to do 6 months of classes with them but because I seen my doctor for over a year they said I didn't need to have the classes.

I was supposed to do 6months of classes but then the insurance company toke that I was seeing my family doctor for management for more than 6 months so they just scheduled it asap. Hopefully he explain more on Monday. I just want my green chili. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
