It really wasn't as bad as I expected. I really had no pain from my incisions or anything. The only problem was with the gas. Just make sure you walk, walk, walk. This will help pass the gas quicker. Also if you can get some of the GasX strips, these really helped.

I dont regret having this done at all. I had my surgery 2 months ago today and still have times where I am surprised that I did it!

Hope your experience is a good one!

Good luck to all of you. May you all have a smooth recovery. I too have done my share of going back and forth on going through with this. Once I get my official surgery date I think I'll feel better (right?). :huh: I just try not to spend to much time in my head. I know that I need to do this.

Good luck!! Mine is scheduled for noon on Friday. Went through the whole pre-admin review on the phone this past Friday. Get to do all the pre-op stuff from home (anti-nasea patch, colon cleanse) on Thurs. Been on a liquid diet since 11/2....SO ready to be on the other side of it so I can start healing and move forward.

Good Luck!! I got sleeved exactly last Monday! Gosh I still get excited thinking about it. The first day wasn't bad considering you have a "knockout button" you push whenever you feel the slightest pain or discomfort. The second and third day for me we difficult. Nothing unbearable just mostly discomfort. Realizing I had a catheter in me was SO ANNOYING!! But now im home and today I went walking the longest (food- or shall I say liquid- shopping) You will do great and as advised before, make sure you WALK, WALK, WALK!!! It'll pay off because im still getting rid of some of the gasses. : ) Give us an update!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
