I am back after having been sleeved yesterday. The facility was wonderful and everyone there was just great. I am in just a little pain and am very sleepy from drugs but I have been walking and sipping. It does help so much. They actually told me I was their marathon walker. I just put on my Ipod and found a song and walked.

I gained 11 pounds since yesterday because of all the liquid they pumped into me. That was shocking. Anyone going to have their procedure at Forest Park will be very happy they did.

I was VERY nauseated after surgry- it was horrible!!!!! I was on a drip for it as well as under the tounge medication, I did stay a second night because of it- Amazing, but once I was home I felt fine. No drain, no cath, only 6 incisions in which all but one is now healed and almost undetectable. Iv lost 15 pounds so far- I feel great! Dr. Davidson is great, love his staff.

Thanks, everyone! Had a little set back today mentally. my husband and I eat out almost every evening. Am worried that I am going to have difficulty with this after surgery. However, doesn't bother me to take what I need with me to a restaurant to substitute or supplement. Did it with Weight Watchers and lost 50 lbs, of course gained 35 back, Thus, the decision to sleeve.

I admit there were a few times when it was hard. I wanted to eat more but could only get a few bits in. However, loosing weight so quickly and seeing the changes in my body definitely balanced it out. Mental eating can be killer!
