May Sleeve!

[beautifulnewme2012 164]

Just a plug for our May 2012 Sleevers 'secret' Facebook group! We are 35 members strong now & going great!

If you were or are going to be sleeved in May then just friend me on Facebook & I will add you to the secret group.

Search for Sharon Ivanauskas.

It is a 'secret' group' date=' which means nobody can see the group, nobody can see who is in the group & nobody can see our posts!

I know some people haven't told everyone on facebook, so that is why I made the group secret.[/quote']

I just sent u a friend request...its from Stacey Tucker Dominguez..

Got you Stacey, added you to the group!

I may even workout a little this evening. Just the elliptical for 10-20 mins, see how long I can do it. I will take it slow & easy, but want to start some exercise.

Thanks!! I am 5 days post op...couldn't dream of trying to work out right now. I had a hernia repair also in my diaphragm which makes it rough to breath easy while I am healing. My hubby just wrapped me in saran wrap so I could take a shower and after I was done I was exhausted!!!

[NJsharon 119]

Why did you have to wrap in saran wrap? Do you have a drain still?

Just interested as I was told to take a shower every day & let the Water go on my incisions, then pat them dry gently.

[beautifulnewme2012 164]

Yep...drain won't be removed till tomorrow. Hopefully he will let me know what to do with the incisions too. I would like to change the bandages or clean the sites or whatever it is I am supposed to do.

Hi Sharon, I've asked you to be my friend and would like to join the "secret" May group. My name is Karen T. I don't like to give out full names over the Internet.

I've been very busy. My oldest daughter gave birth to her first child and my first grandchild yesterday. She is beautiful, of course. What else could I say. I can definitely tell that anesthesia is still wearing me out.

[Tibbie 55]

I am soooo excited for u guys! I am one week post-op now. I got dressed to go to my check up with the surgeon this morning to get my drain removed and my clothes are already getting super baggy...any pain u feel after is worth it...mine was excrucitating. Most don't have it that bad...but one week out and already looking better and clothes looser...can't beat it!!
