finally home from being Sleeved

[fullhandsfullheart 1]

Hello Friends,

Well I was sleeved on Monday. I got so sick from the anesthesia that I couldn't keep anything down sO I had to stay an extra night. ... but it seems to be better now..

now for the question...The morning of my surgery I weighed myself 260... today I weighed myself 265! Is that just from swelling or something?? AAAHHH!

Yes that's just post op swelling from all of the fluids they pump into you. It will go away in a few days. Glad to hear you are doing good.

Thanks! I just can't wait to see that number going DOWN!!!

I was sleeved Monday too and I got home a few hours ago. Glad you are feeling better. I bet the weight will be off really soon! Somehow, I am down one pound. That could be because I didn't have to do a pre-op because I was a revision. I think my body just didn't know what to do with a sudden drop in food. I am so excited to start this journey! Yay for us!!!

Congrats on your new sleeve. Sorry you were so sick, I was worried about that too since I had my gallbladder out 12 years ago and the anethesia made me horribly ill. For my sleeve I think they used some pretty strong anti-nausea meds and sent me home with a patch behind my ear. Whatever they did worked, and I was so grateful.

Don't worry about the water/swelling weight, definitely from the IV fluids.

Hey I just looked at your ticker and saw you live in Denver. Me too!!

Don't worry about the weight gain. I had my sleeve on November 29th and initially gained probably 10 pounds from the surgery and fluids. I was a little stressed too when I got home and weighed more than when I left. However, the second week out I lost 17lbs!! It will come off, trust me!!

The same happened to me gained 6 pounds when I was discharged from hospital 3 days after surgery, you'll do great!
