Recovery?

I was wondering how you all felt at various stages of your recovery.

At one week....one month etc..... what were you able to do physically....?

Hiya

I just had my 32 sleeve Friday afternoon, & can honestly say it was a non event as far as pain or problems i was up the same evening & walking & sipping Water well into the night.

I have not had to take any painkillers & swallowing has not been a problem so far.

I did have a few burps of gas but that appears to have gone, they let me out of hospital today at lunchtime which felt good to get home.

The main thing is i dont feel hungry at all so will have to be carefull to get somegoodness in.

anyhow you are not far away with your surgery so very best of luck I hope everything goes nice & smooth for you.

best wishes

Don..

Thanks Don. We have an evening out planned (well sort of but I can get out of it) a week after my surgery... so not sure if I'll be able to sit for say 3 hours to enjoy it....

I've also managed to put off having any house guests (the draw of living in Spain with the warm weather and a pool usually brings them over in the summer!!) until 3 weeks out, and then its my best friend who knows about the surgery.

I'm glad you're recovering well - enjoy being at home... I know I hate being in hospital so will look forward to returning home next weekend after the event!

Good luck with your recovery

Kathy
