Surgery went well! Pain immediately controlled in the recovery room. Just a little aching belly and extremely sleepy. Going to have my upper GI in about an hour. Please pray my liquids go down and stay down.

Good Morning! I had my sleeve yesterday and really for the most part I am feeling great! I was in a TON of pain in recovery after waking up but they managed it well. Dilulad has been my best friend and I have been taking it every 4 hours. I was walking the second I got to my room from recovery and now I just waiting to take my leak test! Plan to discharge sometime today!

Goodmorning ladies! We are officially here! I had two appointments yesterday with my surgeon whom I might add is flipping gorgeous! I also did my admission! So I ready have to be there at 0600 on Monday but I have to drop a HCG test off today are tomorrow so ladies all seems to be going smooth! The liquid diet was a challenge but we are almost there! We must post after surgery so we will all know that each other are ok!!!!! It has been a journey but 48 hours to our new sexy life!

Hello everyone; couldn't checkin yesterday but I wanted to let everyone know that surgery went very well... virtually no pain after surgery ; just a couple gas pains here and there and just a little sore in the area where the drain is, but overall, I feel great! I pray everyone else is doing fine...please check in when you're able to!

Pain is ungodly. Morphine doesnt help. Ugghhh prayers plz

So sorry to hear that Sel! I pray you get some relief soon!

Today was alot better than yesterday! I can't waif to go home and drop some weight! Praying for you all ladies

Hey everyone! I was in no pain yesterday or today after surgery. The pain mess did their job until the car ride home. Since I've been home, I've experienced some pain and discomfort. The Gas-X strips helped a lot!

I hope tomorrow is better..... I get to start protein drinks tomorrow so hopefully I'll have more energy.

How's everyone doing this evening?

Home and still in pain. No emotional support either bc parents found out. Im 28.....so....idgaf?

Still in the hospital because my heart rate is elevated....doc was all set to send we home then I got up to use the bathroom & it sky rocketed to 160. Pain has been minimal. Just gas pain from the air blown in during surgery. Started on Gas-X strips today to get things moving. Hoping to go home tomorrow.

I got home today!! I did spend an extra night in the hospital because they did the leak test so late and it really set me back. I was very happy with the extra night since I have 3 kids at home. Overall things are going great, except I am having a REALLY hard time drinking anything as it all hurts going down. Hopefully that will change soon as I really do not want to get dehydrated!

Ty bajaqueen, i have you lovely ladies and guys and my therapist. Thats all i need for this. Plus my dream of running marathons.... :)

Pain is better today but now im back to single mom mode . My boys are so sweet that they r helping me :). I cant be happier. My biggest fear was not making it through the surgery. So reality is very beautiful

I'm so sorry your parents aren't supporting you. i havent told anyone my plans except my husband and boss (so I have time off approved). Not sure what reactions I'll get either. Hope you're feeling bettet today!

My pain is out of this world!! I can't sleep feels like my stomache is all over the place ( what's let of it) I haven't passed any gas been using gas x strip relieved some of the pressure but I can't do number 2 was wondering if I can take over the counter laxatives? I know I did this hoping to get healthy but the pain is hell....

Army girl - yes, you can take over the counter laxatives. I will be using Miralax today. I hope you feel better soon!
