Had a one week follow up today. She said everything looks great but I still feel crappy. The incision my stomach came out of is so sore. Following up again in one week. I can't wait til I can do everything on my own again. I havent slept more than 2 hours in a week.

I'm home now! My surgery was on Tuesday. I'm in some pain, but I'm doing alright. I sipped too much of my protein shake, and that doesn't feel good! I'm really tired, but I've been doing a lot of walking. I want this air out of my body!!

for the sleevers who have the drain how long do you have it for?

I have a drain and it's been on since Tuesday. The doctor said it'll be gone by tomorrow before I leave to go home.

Hello there. I also am new. My surgery is scheduled for January 28th, 2013. I am so excited and nervouse at the same time.

I'm Jan 28th also!

Just came back from my one-week post-op doc visit! All is good! I'm down 10 lbs from day of surgery!! I have had no issues to really complain about - been pretty smooth sailing all things considered! The only odd thing' date=' is that they still won't let me drive for another week or 2... I"m not even on pain meds anymore... they said it is because of the anethesia! Anyone else experience this?[/quote']

I stop taking pain meds while In the hospital. Came home on Lortab, bottle hasnt even been open! Thank God no pain!!

Day 2 post op - so far so good. Very little pain - just a small headache probably caffeine withdrawal. I ate a Popsicle and some jello - I eat very slowly. I have to say that the food on the TV commercials look very good and make me feel hungry - is this normal? I guess I thought I wouldn't feel hungry. It's not that I am starving it just looks good.

I will get discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I was not on a special pre op diet and do not have a drain.

How is everyone else doing?

Blessings to all:)

I only had my drain in about 8 hours. It was taken out this morning early.

I had surgery Monday and the drain was removed this morning. I'm on my way home now.

Surgery this morning and all is good. I'm sore and when I was in post op and woke up I had headache. I only used my pain drip a few times and then headache got much better. Mouth is really dry - ice chips taste really good.

Attached is a really cute picture of my tummy.

Hope everyone is doing good

Blessings -Linda

O my gosh! I am so happy your doing well. My revision is Monday and I am really getting excited. I plan on being out of work only one week, since I have a desk job. Gonna take this weekend and revamp my pantry.

I felt the same way, it was like the TV was FILLED with Wendy's commercials!! I was ready to kill for a mozzarella stick, but the urge subsided around day 5.

Since I love to cook, I've noticed that I'm forcing my family to eat my favorites lol. At least I can still cook them even if I can't eat em!
