Curious to see how long people stayed out of work after their sleeve.

I have a total of 4 weeks off. Got sleeved on 2/20 and will return 3/19

It was really difficult to sleep the first 5 days. I literally had about 8 pillows propping different parts of my body and could not turn on my sides. Best of luck -it will get better. The only thing I miss is lying on my belly

I had my surgery on 2/27 and was released from the hospital this afternoon 3/1. In the hospital I loss sleep due to the nurses poking me every 2-3 hours. However now that I'm home, I can't figure out how to sleep in my flat bed. Should I sleep in the chair? I'm having a rough start. Where did everyone sleep on their 1st night home????

Current weight- 281

you look amazing! Congratulations! Im week one post op and cant wait to see the new me in one year!!

I can't believe it, almost a year ago I was 316 pounds. I was nervous, and eating every horrible and unhealthy meal I thought I would never be able to eat again because I knew I was about to change my life on December 14, 2016.
I was sleeved on 12/14/16 and it was truly one of the best life decisions I ever made. It was not easy, from being in and out of the ER due to dehydration in my early stage.. barely being able to eat anything besides liquids/apple sauce for 2 months.. to now being able to eat honestly anything, just with Portion Control. I'm well known on social media, and people always ask me what do I eat, what should they eat, did I get additional surgery etc.. even on here as I try to respond to all messages I tell everyone the same thing: My journey will NOT be yours. We are all different, we are individuals and our bodies are all different. My experience was deff not easy but yes I love my results. If you are questioning getting sleeved, do your research and then say YES. I was so nervous about getting sleeved, I researched for months before I started the process. I'm so glad I turned my life around. I am literally crying as I type this because I am so happy. food no longer controls my life, I do. The best feeling is self love and happiness... I was always confident but now I truly feel happy. 100%. And my journey is not even over yet, it just began.
I will post pics because the few friends I have on here always ask lol! Love you guys. And I love all my sleevers. []️
