I had surgery on a Thursday went to church on Sunday and work on Monday (desk job)

In between my shoulder blades hurt from the gas but it was not unbearable just an achy feeling

Constipation was terrible though.... get you some Colace, Milk of Magnesia and Benefiber!

Surgery was April 2018
Outpatient...no pain meds
Sipped water... drank coffee day after surgery
I feel great! No regrets!!!

I had surgery in April 2018. I experienced the stomach gurgles for a while. It does get better.

Go for it! I had Gerd before surgery and it is gone.

I took all of my pill medication the day after surgery and had no issues. (Did not crush or open)

I had coffee the morning after surgery.

Ok so where you able to walk afterwards? and how long was your stay.

My surgery was done in Birmingham, AL as an outpatient. After surgery, I spent the night in a nearby hotel and the nurse came by and checked on me and then I saw the doctor the next morning before going home. (Surgery on Thursday returned to work on Monday)
I didn’t have issues with pain and never took any pain medication.
Best decision ever! (Surgery April 2018, down 80lbs)

I had a hysterectomy about a year and a half before gastric sleeve surgery. I am one year out from gastric sleeve surgery and have lost eighty pounds. Twenty more to go to reach my goal!

I also had my surgery (sleeve and hernia repair) on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I didn’t take any pain medication. Good luck to you on your journey. (I am one year out and down eighty pounds. I would like to lose twenty more. Then plastic surgery here I come! LOL)

Be patient. These stalls will happen every so often during your journey. You are doing great!

Colace and Benefiber. Milk of Magnesia on occasion.

Reflux and sleeve? Bad combo

Not necessarily....I had terrible GERD and was sleeved in April 2018. I am doing great. I have only had a couple of acid flare ups. (Ate too late)

My doctor let me swallow pills the day after my surgery. I take bp meds, Dexilant and Vitamins. No issues.

I work in an office and it is hard to keep secrets. Lol. I didn’t tell anyone before I had surgery but I did tell them a couple of months after. The production workers were even concerned when I started losing weight because they thought I was sick. My work environment is more like family so I didn’t mind the questions.

J@Alabama: Thank you for sharing that. Does your doctor have any idea why you still can’t drink much?

KT1981: You give me hope!!

Thank you all for your responses...I guess I’ll just hope for the best, but at least I know I won’t be alone if that doesn’t happen. Thanks again.

It is normal. I cant eat fast either.

You look fantastic!

I am seven months out and I still cannot drink a lot of Water all at once.

I paid approximately $11,000 all inclusive. (Hospital, follow up for life etc)

I haven’t had any trouble taking antibiotics

Congratulations! So happy for you!

Premier Protein shakes... chocolate and vanilla are my favs!

I had surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I have a desk job and I made it ok.
