I am 16 days post op and I have mild discomfort on my largest incision area. My pain was down to nothing until I went back to work this week. So my mild pain is due to being on my feet for 9 hours a day.

Hi there! I was sleeved on Weds 12/7. Came home Thurs evening. I also had a long pre op program, going to the first informational meetin in March, then 6 mo with the dietician, psych assessment, etc. I finally got my insurance approval the end of Oct.

How are you feeling now? My biggest problem in the hospital was back pain due to arthritis. Tonight I walked a mile in my treadmill. Trying to get past being head hungry!!!!! Tonight dishing up dinner for my kids - meatloaf and mashed potatoes- about did me in!! The only thing that kept me from taking a bite of those potatoes was knowing what would happen seconds later! This is the toughest stage for me so far.

I feel really good now that I'm home. My worst pain is actually headaches. I'm drinking caffeinated black tea to help them. I'm sure it is a struggle to dish up your families meals! I have mental hunger and trying to ignore it of course. My surgeons requirements to introduce normal foods is very strict compared to others I have read about. I won't have a regular diet for the next 11 weeks! So I'm very much looking forward to trying milk and yogurt next week as I enter phase 2, full liquids. Take care!

I had my surgery on Tuesday Dec. 6. I came home Thursday and I'm recovering so much better at home. My only pain is from the largest incision site (where the stomach is removed) and major headaches. My surgery was performed with the Divinici robot so I have 6 incisions. I can't stand broth but dealing with it and I'm loving Jello

Hello, I'm Kelli and I had my sleeve surgery on Tuesday, Dec 6 at UTMB in Galveston, TX. I'm so glad to be home now resting in my own bed. My hospital stay was not very pleasant. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you here and hopefully I can help others as well. My insurance required a long pre op program that was started back in March!
