LifeRejuvenated

12/29/16 for me. Down 56. I keep hitting stalls too.

I had similar on my right. I brought it up at my 30 day post-op appt & he said that could be extra sore because they pull the excess stomach through. 2 weeks later it feels better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Give it time, your body is swollen & recovering. It sounds good. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 weeks post-op. The pill part seems easy compared to no regular BM & constipation. Make sure you keep it regular! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

After 3 days it was so much easier. Eye on the prize. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for sharing! I was sleeved 12/29/16 also, so glad it's behind me now. The waiting was the worst part. Looking forward to spring with a new spring in my step!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got this & was told it was gas. Do more walking, it worked. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also was sleeved 12/29 and came home 12/30. Right as I was leaving the hospital I noticed the pain was getting more intense. I think I stirred it up by getting dressed and all that movement. I asked for another pain pill before leaving. At home I basically sat in the recliner. Thank god I have help because getting up & down hurt bad. Two others I know from our class had theirs a week before and said the pain lessens after day 5. My neck & back hurt (I'm told it's gas) along with my abdomen, majority of pain on the left side. I guess we just have to keep at this and it'll pass. Oh boy though does my stomach area hurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today all of the tears & anxiety hit me, with 23 days until my surgery. It was like you wrote this for me. We share a similar background, I lost my husband 5+ years ago because of the anesthesia wake up after surgery. Yep, it's all starting to freak me out. I've only told 5 people. I don't want anyone's anxieties from losing him to freak out and try to talk me out of it, I need this. None of my family knows. I think it's better for myself & then this way, especially my mil. I keep taking deep breathes and concentrating on my goals. I have a wonderful & supportive BF who is my support. Thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
