Just had my sleeve surgery done Monday. Already off of my diabetes meds. I still feel sore and kind of crappy. I guess I am worried about complications. I don't want any and I certainly don't want infection, so I am being very cautious. Drank my first protein shake today. It went down fine. I only experienced nausea twice, and it was the second day after surgery while trying to gulp down pain meds and too much water (my mistake). So far, so good! Please pray for me that I will recover with no complications...My prayers are with all of you, hoping you and I have successful stories to tell in a few months!

Congrats on being sleeved, very happy for you!!

Hi Just had my sleeve on Monday as well! Good Luck!

How are you? I am just starting to feel human again!

Congrats!!! I love my sleeve and you will too. I can't wait to hear about your journey!!!

I feel pretty good still have some pain of course! I am guessing the procedure is pretty much done the same for everyone, I have 6 incinsions that are still healing but all in all I feel pretty good!

Congratulations!

i'm a monday ahead of you..

i feel pretty good most of the time. Most liquids are sitting well most days. Biggest problem is what I think is an internal stich that is pullling. I basicly only have that one spot that causes pain. Feeling human again is great... Pretty soon you'll feel perfectly normal.

Off the meds already?! That is a good sign of things to come. Congrats.

Also had my sleeve surgery Monday, Aug 22. Feeling pretty good, no nausea since Thursday, no throwing up since Wednesday. Getting fluids down cautiously but not great quantity. Little pain, just discomfort when moving, but taking Lortab elixir pain meds which seems to result in really weird-assed dreams and prolonged feelings of being "loaded". (Don't really like that feeling as much as I did 30 years ago--who knew?) Also had problems with referred anesthesia pain in my shoulder, which hopefully has gone away. Has anyone else had those issues? Going to talk to my doctor Monday, and hopefully back to work next week. Lost 16 pounds in two weeks.

Sweeet!!! I'm getting mine on Monday!! Good luck in your journey!

I got sleeved on Tuesday, 8/23. I'm having problems getting liquids in, even water is hard for me to drink. I'm sipping it as slow as I can but it feels like heart burn going down. Is this normal? Am I still sipping too fast?

I have been SO lucky. No shoulder "gas" pain, and no nausea to speak of and NO vomiting. I can drink an 8oz. Protein shake slowly in about 10 - 15 minutes. When I went through chemotherapy I took ONE Loritab and threw my guts up...NOT form chemo....from the Loritab on an empty stomach....so my Sleeve Doctor prescribed an under-the-tongue anti-nausea pill to take right before I take my liquid Loritab. No nausea at all. Loritab certainly does work!!! No pain...LOTS of sleep. I haven't taken any today. I still had a lot of Fluid from the saline IV (since I was recently diagnosed with diabetes) and I haven't had any bowel movements since the day before surgery....so, I guess that is why my weight is the same right now....I figure I haven't had more than 250 to 300 calories a day since surgery......Should have lost some in two weeks....we'll see!
