Can't believe that it's all done. I thought for sure I was going to chicken out. My hubby was so supportive though and helped me calm my nerves. He was a great nurse for me in the hospital, too. :thumbup:

Only 3 incisions were made and I didn't have to have a drain tube.

That is fantastic! Do you know why the doctor was able to do the surgery on three cuts only? I would like to request that my doctor try that with me and I have an appointment Thursday with him. Any information about it will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome back!! Lucky you only 3??

I have 5... and had a drain in there which was taken out before I left. But i think they'll heal with virtually no scarring so not too worried about them. (Plus they'll add character to my 6 pack in a years time!!! :lol0:)

Take it slow... and I promise it gets better every day.

I'm so glad your surgery went well BandMomsRock! 3 incisions only? That's cool! I have 6, and didn't get a drain either. Glad your hubby is so supportive and helpful, mine is too and I know I couldn't have done this without him. Yay for wonderful husbands :blushing:

I'm a little jealous. My drain was horrible, it really hurt! As soon as I got it out I had little to no pain from then on. I have 6 incisions! I'm a little over 2 weeks out and they are pretty much healed so...no big deal :) glad you are doing well. Take it slow :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
