Hey guys! So I went through with it and got sleeved yesterday at 9am. So far no pain, no gas or anything!!

Thank you for your prayers because I know they helped! I feel good, just sleepy.

I will update you all soon,

CONGRATS TO YOUR NEW LIFE! I am post op 9 days and I can tell you it really does get better every day. Now, the clear liquids part is about to drive me insane but it is all worth it! Good luck!

Welcome to the club! This is the beginning of your new journey, and the hardest! But it is all worth it. Have a Merry Christmas and the best of recovery....

hi fellow sleevers

today i'm officially one week post-op. i didn't really have any problems. no gas pains, no drain causing probs. prob with sleeping, but i think thats common.

one problem i had (and i was expecting this) i have teeny teeny little veins.Special IV team was called, and after many attempts they still couldn't get the IV in. I have many battle scars to prove it. They finally succeeded. ouch ouch ouch

Other than that, I'm still kindof weak-but walking around (not as much as i should), drinking my Protein shake, so far only 2 a day - getting most of my Water in though, what am i missing?.

Hubby took 2 weeks off to help me (what a guy!!)

i'm really tired, my bed is calling me for a nap. zzzzzkathy

re-read this has not been the best post, i reallam tired.................

Hello all. I had my surgery on 12/12 and I just went in for my check up with the doc. He says everything is great and that I have lost 20 lbs since I went in to see him before the surgery.

I had a bit of trouble with the pain meds in the hospital. Made me really sick the first night. Once they straightened that out I was okay. Just ready to come home and take a loooooong shower (which I did).

The first week of liquids only drove me crazy. I got to the point that everything made me want to barf. Now that I have added some actual food I feel 100% better.

I'm trying to remember to drink my water!!!!! Hopefully the lbs. will come off in due time. I'm trying not to become obsessed with the scale, so I don't weight everyday.
