Hey there! You can just call me Blossom. I'm 21 years old and I was sleeved on July 2nd! My surgeon is Dr. Neil Floch and he is a God send. Very kind, funny and caring man and I am so grateful that he did my surgery. He made me feel so safe before getting the procedure, if someone else was doing it I probably would have backed out. Hm, I'm not sure what else to write so I'll just say whatever comes to mind.
Being only 4 days out, I am doing surprisingly well. I figured I would have more pain and be this miserable bedridden person, but I’m the exact opposite. I did have very strong pains due to the air they pumped me up with, it was beyond uncomfortable, but that feeling is all gone. That was actually worse than the actual procedure itself. What helped was all the walking I did. A couple hours after surgery and I was already walking around the east and west wing of the 6th floor of the hospital lol
The first day I came home I was weak and tired because I no longer had the IV keeping me hydrated, but now I’m waking up early making sure I take my Vitamins and the right amounts of fluids as well as walking around every couple hours I feel fantastic. A little sore, but fantastic. I can’t wait for finally get out there, work out and live my life the way I was meant to live it. No more couch potato here! Before I was embarrassed, I felt like getting this surgery was the easy way out, but it’s not, it’s a helpful tool and takes a lot of hard work if you want to see real results. Also, I’ve already lost 7lbs! whoot! Lol
