Apologies @nicoleamy i tagged the wrong person ,

Hey! I’m still in the hospital, not much belly pain but SUPER tired. And of course the nurses come in constantly ?? The biggest pain I have is the air/gas they use to blow up your cavity to make it easier to see everything during surgery. Some of that gets trapped and moves up to the chest/ shoulder area. I’ve been doing little tiny burps but honestly, I’m ready for a BIG GNARLY BELCH! ? Too bed I can’t have a couple sips of Diet Coke, that would make me burp for sure! Happy to be on this side of the journey though! Good luck to everyone else! Oh I’m glad you’re doing ok the gas pain I’ve heard is awful hopefully it will ease soon for you. Keep walking to shift it. Rest up and keep us updated on your progress

Hi and thank you for your replies . Hi thank you for your reply I'm still struggling to navigate this site well , I have a desk job too so I'm hoping I'll be able to get back early to avoid any questions .. I love my colleagues but I'm not happy to share this part of my life with them. You're lucky to have someone to go through it with , that must be lovely .

Thank you .. you too

Hi @missranger Thank you for your reply .. it's clearly doable then to go back to work that soon ... that's good to know . I have a desk job so not at all strenuous . Im the same as you as in im quite private and my business my own that's amazing that you're doing so well and only 12 days post op . Really pleased its going so well for you . How much weight have you lost and how are you managing with all liquids ?

Hi @libbyleeb thank you for your reply . I can understand that, its not an easy journey to start I guess , I do hope things improved a lot for you quite soon after . I like to thinkmimhave a good threshold for pain but I'm a bit scared to expect it will be an easy few weeks , I really would like to go back to work a few days later if I can though, even if only to avoid being asked why ive been off work... I'm quite private and don't share things about myself if i can help it ...

Ah I see , ok and thank you for reassuring reply So I will just say stomach problems or something simular.

Hi and thank you so much for your reply . Really kind of you . Im 'office based and hAve quiet lunches at my desk too, I've already started to decline meals out saying I'm on a diet and really taking it seriously as I want to lose weight for the summer etc we all say it every year but they know in being serious this time as I went out saturday and drank fizzy water all night so they know I'm serious about losing weight. I just hope my GP will support me with a sick note saying something other than what Im having done ... fingers crossed for that. I noticed you had a band removed then a sleeve done how are you finding things ? I had a band removed January 2018 and was only off work three days and in used my holidays so no one knew any different , I know the sleev op is different but I'm trying to have positive thoughts and ecover as quickly a possible . so no one will ask questions i guess .

H March 20th and counting ...

Hi everyone , I'm not telling anyone about my surgery (sleeve being done 20th March) they wouldn't understand to be honest Work will be told its a hernia or scar tissue adhesions from a bad fall I had two years ago .... that did actually happen so they know I'm hurting from that still . I was wondering if anyone went back to work relatively quickly after the op. if so how did you manage . I dont have anyone close to share this with other than my daughter who doesn't live close so I'll be going through it on my own. So any advise or support would be gratefulgratefully received.
