Cherrytree, I had surgery on a Monday and was out shopping by myself that Saturday. However everyone's surgeon's techniques, medications and postop routines are different. In my case my surgery was around 12noon and they had me out of bed walking @ 4pm and I walked and had fluids that whole night. I never received or needed any narcotic pain medication (I had a non-narcotic med I was given to take around the clock for 3 days postop and after that I took children's liquid Tylenol when I had pain). I was released the next morning and had daily visits to the doctor for dressing changes on day 3 and 4 and had a JP drain that was removed day 4 as well.

Hope that helps. Someone else's story may be very different :)

Jaylowe, I am most definitely nervous about maintenance down the road. Everything changes so quickly after the sleeve it almost doesn't seem real to begin with. This is not something that will solve all of our problems. Someone (stupid) asked me about my weight loss and when I told him my method, he said "oh, you took the easy way out" (refer to previous posts regarding people's commentary). I can only be hopeful that down the line this will be a tool that will assist me with being more healthy and maintaining a decent weight so I'm not excessively heavy like I was again.

Thanks back2barb78. I was just trying to get an idea. My surgeon says I can drive when I feel ready as long as I am clearly not taking pain meds. But just was trying to get a feel for others. I hate feeling stuck and stranded.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
