Hey all, I was sleeved last Monday 2/13 and i must say all in all things are going pretty smoothly.

I had only 1 day of a liquid diet the day before the surgery. Monday I weighed in 304.6 and down 12lbs as of today. I was in pain after the surgery they gave me a morphine drip, was walking around the next day, no catheter during my stay. I did have problems getting all the liquids in, hospital stay was wonderful they had a sister n father come around each day to pray with you. I was sent home Wed at noon. Slept sitting up in a chair the first night, then in my bed there after. No gas issues, still working on getting all the liquids in doing pretty good with my Protein shakes. Each day is better, had BM day 4 & 6, I'm able to sleep on my side now and walked for 45 mins today 2x. Still some soreness of course, but minimal.

Anyway, just an update on me n my experience I know everyone is different. I'm excited about the journey and my new life. Best wishes to everyone pre & post I can't wait to post before and after pics....stay tuned!!

Congrats! I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

This is encouraging. Much success to you!

And I forgot to give a S/O to my surgeon Dr. Fedorka at Kaiser Fontana in So Cal....he was awesome. I'm very pleased with him all around....he made it a point to find my son after.the surgery and speak with him personally to let him know everything went great. The whole Kaiser staff has been great but my surgery was performed at St Bernardines Hospital A+ to them as well.

Glad it all went smoothly! I pray mine goes the same way.

Congrats!!!!! to you glad all went well

Glad everything is going OK for you and you are feelig good. Sounds like you are on the right track!

Lboogie , I am glad you are doing well. I had pretty much the same experience.Keep up the great work!

I am glad to hear it all went so well, gives me hope for mine coming up in three weeks!

Sounds like you are doing great! So glad it all went well for you and that you are feeling good about everything! Keep us updated - can't wait to join you on the loser's bench!!

Glad to hear you are feeling good! The biggest problem for me during the first week post-op was the gas. My shoulders hurt like H***. I couldn't wear anything but very light tunics for 3 days coz of it. And my doctor had to give me some medicines to help me sleep peacefully. I'm so glad you did not have to go through that!!

We'll be looking for those pics!

Thanks for this post, I'm on day 4, still sleeping in my chair and sort of painful. I think I may be doing too much. I'm lookig forward to day 6 now

Hey there! I'm not too far behind you. I was sleeved on the 16th.

You are so lucky you only had to do one day of the liquid diet! lol. I had to do two whole weeks. It was torture at times, but overall I think it was a good thing in that it prepared me for all the liquids I'd be trying to drink post-surgery.

You're really lucky you've had no gas issues. That's been my only problem, really. I've been walking more and more every day, though, and it's fading fast, thankfully.

Nice to hear your story!!!! Please keep us updated on how you're doing.
