Hello everyone,

I am new here and just had my sleeve done on Jan 17th. I had a few issues so had to stay in the hospital for 3 nights. I am doing better but my tummy is still swollen. I have not gotten on the scale yet because I don't think I have lost anything yet. But I am very glad I had this done and know I will have a good outcome. I have fought my weight problem my whole life and I am hoping I have found the solution. I know this is a whole new why of life and I am ready for it.

Keep us updated. I go in on the 27th, but I only have to stay one night (as long as everything is good). I worry about gas in the belly. A few years ago I had surgery and the gas from it got under my shoulder. Now that was more painful than the surgery.

Congrats Barb, it will get better and better each day!

Congradulation Barb!!! I had my sleeve on Jan 17th so I know that is a special and magical day.

Jen

I am glad to hear you are ok. Could you tell us about the issues you had?

Thanks

Congrats on your surgery, Barb!! I hope all is going well - tomorrow is one week!!!

I was fortunate not to have too much gas pain - guess that first walk the day of the surgery was the key. In fact, I didn't have much pain, just some discomfort. I wish you the same experience. Take care! Stay positive!

The issues I had were nausea. And I was not able to get rid of the gas. My tummy is still pretty swollen. I feel much better will be glad when Tues gets here to have my staples taken out. I was also up walking the first day after surgery. But it may be my age also as I am 58 and I think that could be why I was a little slower to feeling better. But I my now on my way to a new me. Thank you all and this site is a great place to ask questions and get lots of info.

Sleeved on Jan 17th
