I went back 6 days after surgery, I have a desk job for the most part but I'm totally exhausted, I feel like I need more time just to let my body rest!

Thank you all for all your wonderful comments. I'm now 6 days out, feel great! Only problem I have is getting my water and protein down, I walk alot but still have alot of gas...that's the reason it's hard going down. Other than that I cant complain about anything. My tummy rumbles alot, haven't felt hungry at all! Wish all of you the best of luck!!

I was sleeved yesterday about 8 am, left the hospital today and am home. I feel great, just sore like I've done a bunch of sit ups. The worst part for me was removing the drain, ouch! Other than than I feel great, walked alot in the hospital, having a problem getting water down but it's getting better. The gas builds up and as soon as I feel the pressure I take a deep breath and it subsides! So far so good, I can't believe it's over though..my journey begins now!!:svengo:

Thanks so much for that Stacey, you put my mind at ease! I know everyone's recovery is different. I've had three c-sections and just have in my mind that this recovery will be similar...I just need to CHILL...just like you said! Thanks everyone!!:crying:

My surgery is tomorrow, last night the heart palpatation started and havent stopped. I'm freaking myself out, my family keeps telling me it's anxiety but I'm not sure. I know I am getting scared! My mom and sister had lap band done within the last three weeks, they recovered great. Maybe I know mines not going to go as well as them and that's getting me anxious too!:crying:
