Just sleeved this morning...



Recommended Posts

So I had my surgery today at noon. I'm sitting in the hospital recovery room. 5 small incisions & I'm on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. Overall, it wasn't too bad. A little bit of gas in my tummy from when they inflated it, but I have been walking & that helps A LOT. Anyone that is pre-op.. It wasn't that bad.. Pain is a 2-3/10. Well worth it. Today is the beginning of my new life! :)

Congrats to you! I'm laying in my bed now as well. Got sleeved around 130. Gas isn't bad at all. Had bad nausea when I got up to pee earlier that I threw up for a bit and lots of dry heaves. So they gave me some drugs for that. As long as I stay horizontal the nausea stays away. Have only gotten up twice so far. I was in recovery for 3 hours and then got to my room about 6.

Have two incisions and those don't hurt but my abdomen does.

Hope you have a great night and get some sleep.< /p>

I was sleeved today around noon as well. I'm lying in my hospital bed and can't sleep. The gas pain is what is killing me tho. They also found I had a hiatal hernia so she had to repair that. No nausea yet so far thank god although a little heartburn type feeling. But I think it was from the lemon glycerin swabs they were giving me for dry mouth. So I stopped those. Leak test is at 8:30am and looking forward to some water! ESP looking forward for all these wires too come off so I can put on my own clothes and walk around more. :)

Congrats ladies! It's so nice to hear from some people who have had recent surgery! I am getting sleeved on Christmas Eve and I'm super nervous but very excited too! I'm glad you girls aren't feeling to bad, I'm really terrified of getting and feeling sick as its a fear of mine but I know it comes with the surgery. Wishing you ladies a speedy recovery :-)

Yes walk. Get moving and you'll be fine. Four days out and the nurses laugh at me because I am always on the move

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
