"Sleeved" 19th May 2011

[Ellen Ann 0]

Hello, I'm new to your site but I just wanted to say that reading all your stories before I was sleeved was very encouraging. I was sleeved on the 19th May and had a very uneventful time and so far my recovery has been fantastic. I'm now only three days into the two weeks of fluids only and have to use the kitchen timer to remind myself to drink whatever concoction is next due but its fine and I'm not hungry or thirsty.

Friends are visiting and ringing expecting me to be very weak, pale and in pain and are astonished to see me looking well, mobile and painfree- I know that so far I have been very lucky.

I look forward to being part of your group. Ellen Ann

Welcome to the "other side" Ellen Ann!

I too had an easy time with my surgery and recovery. Other than some anemia and gas pains, I was good!! I went back to work in a week and feel great at 2 weeks out!!

Good luck to you in your journey and keep us posted on your progress!!

Hi Ellen Ann, welcome and congrats on being sleeved!! I was sleeved on 5/16 and have been having an easy recovery as well. I feel so blessed and am so thankful. I'm so happy I was finally able to get this done. Glad you're doing so well and happy we have this supportive forum.
