Hi, congratulations on your surgery. Feeling nervous is normal, I was scared out of my mind..lol...my husband went with me, but after I was in my room I sent him home. I do advice having a support person or persons. Don't go alone would be my advice. You will be groggy after surgery and you won't remember anything the doctor tells you. You'll be OK, good luck and we'll be here when you get back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using BariatricPal mobile app

Awesome. I had to admit it to myself, and that was not easy. Glad I'm not the only one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, congratulations on your surgery. What helped me was a heating pad, I placed it on my chest, shoulders and tummy. Took pain meds in liquid form of course, lasted on my left and that helped me. Good luck. It will go away and get better, every day will be better.

Hello, my surgery was on 12/11/17, congrats on your steps.

I have a great team, surgeon, and dietician that work together and they have been awesome. I was given 2 folders with all the information I needed, it's my Bible, and I go to it daily. In my opinion, I knew this was a process, and it's major surgery and a life changing decision. We cannot expect for it to be a magic wand. It took years to put on the extra pounds, I know this will take work and this surgery is just a jump start. I will take it easy on my recovery, enjoy my quiet times, reflect and plan on my next step to go back to the gym. I wish you all a speedy recovery and best of luck with your future self, which will be a much smaller version, but a much more incredible version. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, I did have the sleeve. I went in on a Monday and left on Wednesday. I did have a lot of pain in the hospital, I was on morphine every 6 hours and anti nausea meds every 4 along with anti biotics. I had an awesome surgeon. I was vomiting the first day after I wanted to die I felt so sick. But I really wanted this and nothing was going to get in my way.

Good luck. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm feeling much better, I'm trying not to be hard on myself, it took a lot of years to put this extra weight on, I can't expect it to all be gone overnight. I follow my doctor's orders to the letter, he gave me good meds to deal with all the issues like nausea and pain. It does get better, take it easy and be good to yourself, rest and sleep as much as you can. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I didn't set up a recliner, my Doctor advised me to take it easy, rest as much as possible, sleep will be your friend. No lifting, pulling, 5lbs or more for a few weeks. Your body is healing from major surgery and it's healing from the inside, so be good to yourself, and rest, rest, rest. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
