Sleved Yesterday

Just a big thnk you to all sharing your sleeve success stories. I was apprehnsive yesteday about the surgery, but now that it's over I feel good abouy my choice. I'm doing reaaly well 18 hours out. I've experienced only minor discomfort from gas, which walking helps. Not too much pain either. Tomorow is the leak test, then water-YAY,

Congratulations! We have a couple of things in common: the beautiful Pacific NW, being in our 50's, and a complication free and virtually pain free surgery! Take good care of yourself now. It's time to put YOU first! Sip, walk, rest, be optimistic about the future!

Wow! That's awesome! Good for you :001_wub:

Glad to hear you are doing well!! Make sure to take the time you need and if you can, stay an extra day in the hospital. Day three was the roughest for me but, I am home now and feel a lot better. Each day gets better! :001_wub:

Congrats! Here's hoping things continue to go well for you.

Since we're kind of neighbors, if you don't mind, where did you have your surgery done?

Glad you're on the "other side" now - getting it over with really is a relief, huh? Best of luck with the liquid/mushie stages and the rest of your recovery!

YAY for you! Welcome to the bench and congrats on a safe surgery. Enjoy that leak test hehe.

Thanks everyone. And that leak test..WOW. What An adventure. At my hospital it is done standimg so no flopping around if you know what I mean

Glad to hear that you are doing so well.

I am thrilled to hear that your recovery is going so smoothly! This is such an exciting phase to start out in. Enjoy every little victory and if it helps right them down. They are all amazing. For example, last night I was walking in the mall with my boyfriend and we walked by a clothing store for jr's and regular sized women. Tom said to me, "I bet you love that store." I have NEVER been able to shop in a store like that and my boyfriend of almost three years didn't even bat an eye at the fact that I could shop there. It was thrilling!!!! There are so many cool little victories and changes. Enjoy them all.
