Simply Sleeved

My honey wasn't supportive of me having the surgery and since I have came out of surgery on 9/27 I have received approximately 3 text msgs,.one of which was to say "I told you so" in regards to the pain. This surgery changes people... Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App I agree with the temperature as well. Cold thin liquids cause an ache but cold blended shakes with peanut butter (thicker) are no problem.

I had the conversion surgery on 9/27 but the removal of the band and creation of the sleeve was done in one procedure. For me the recovery was much more difficult from the sleeve than the band.With the band I walked laps around that hospital right after my surgery. I wasn't really in pain, it just felt like about day. With the sleeve it took over a day and a half to get me to walk 50 steps because I was in soooo much pain. I was weak and tired and now on day 4 it's gotten a better with only incision sorenesss but I'm still exhausted. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

My nurse/nutritionist said that this is due to the alkaline in the Water. She suggests adding lemon to change the pH or drinking Crystal Light until you can stomach it. Fyi, she is a bypass patient. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

You're supposed to start walking the day of surgery but I was unable. I'm on day 4 and weak but I push myself to walk a little bit then I lay back down. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Did you guys cleanse your system before surgery? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I have the same question. I have had no problem getting my fluids and Protein shakes down. I figured it was due to my band to sleeve conversion but I am slightly concerned. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I didn't tell my parents or my boss. I just told my boss I was having a surgical procedure. When she tried to pry I told her that I didn't want to share. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
