I brought some biotene mouth spray.. Was a life saver!!! Drinking water hurt initially and my mouth was sooooo dry. I am soooooo glad my friend recommended it!! Also.. Some eos chapstick. Again with the dryness lol. I also brought some hydrating spray for my face but I didn't need that. I brought my pillow but i slept and sat with the bed raised because my large incision site would cramp like crazy when I was flat. I mostly slept when I wasn't walking... But everyone is different. May want to bring somwthing to occupy your mind. Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

My dr didnt give me a goal for the first month but did say I need to lose 40% of my excess within 3 months. So that woukd be right around 47 pounds. At first I was like wth!? There is no way, but after losing 18 pounds in the 1st 2 weeks, seems much more realistic! Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey there! i had my surgery 8/8 and have had the same issue. It does get better with time! I found the if i applied a little pressure to the site before standing/moving/turning, that often helps! I still have a little pain now, but it is definitely more of a dull pain now rather than a "omg what did I break pain." Hope you get to feeling better sooner rather than later!

Hi Malin! Im just starting to look jnto getting the sleeve in the huntsville area. I will be self paying too! I was curious the ball park cost for Dr. Suggs? The doctor i was looking at in Birmingham was like 12000, but that included surgery insurance. Any info you can share would be great! Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
