This is a great topic! I remember they kept telling me that I was going to have to wake up and then kept piling warm blankets on because I guess I was shivering. I remember not wanting to wake up because I felt nauseated. So my first words were " I'm going to be sick". If they had just let me sleep...LOL!!

I couldn't speak. For real, I could open my eyes for a few moments but I just couldn't speak. I had a real hard time waking up.

I do remember yelling for someone to help me cuz they stuck me in a hallway waiting for someone to move me from xray to recovery. I was alone forever and I had to pee.

My first words was my name and then date, that is what I was asked as soon as I woke up, lol

But, as soon as they were done asking me quesitons, I asked for Water and they told me NO, but swabbed me. After that I just laid back down and slept.

I woke up and said "I need to walk," over and over. Finally a male nurse told me I need to take it easy for a while because of the anesthesia. That's when I started my leg exercises in the bed. Ha ha. I had read so much about blood clots and the importance of walking that it was drilled into my head. :)

I woke up in the recovery room and I asked the time ...it was 230p... 2 hrs after i went into the operating room. The i asked for something to drink. I was told the time and given a large q tip looking thing to suck on....ick. Lol

Then I started sneezing. And I didn't stop for hours. I was miserable!! They finally called my dr and he ordered some benadryl. That knocked me out and I drank the required 8oz of Water, used the bathroom and at 730p they sent me on my way. I slept all the way home.

When I went to the dr for my post op follow up the dr said he had over 600 surgeries and no one woke up sneezing. LOL.

I woke up vomitting. After one of my many boughts I started crying and and said "I'm not allowed to throw up. Is my band gonna be ok?" they assured me I was ok so I went back to sleep. After spending 24 hours in the hospital due to blood pressure complications, I was allowed to go home.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
