Hi January Sleevers. Are any of you scheduled for the 8th like me? I am getting really nervous! I've lost 10 lbs on my pre-op diet and feel pretty good. I just cannot believe this is about to happen. I would love to talk to some others who are going to the loser's bench on Tuesday!

Y surgery went fine yesterday officially I have been sleeved

Finally home after getting sleeved yesterday at 530m. Sore but just walking and sipping. Hope I sleep good tonight in my own bed. Hope everyone is doing good!

My surgery went well, no complications. Thankfully. Lots of pain the first day but now that Im home it seems to be getting better. Im not hungry at all, but have been dreaming of diet coke. LOL

Just for fun I stepped on my scale today and guess what? I gained 2 lbs. Im sure its from the IV fluids, my hands are swollen too. I think I'll wait a few more days before I weigh my self again.

I hope you all are doing well.

My surgery went fine on the 8th. Yesterday was rough. Very sore and tired. Overdid it on the Water once or twice and paid for it.

Had a phenomenal night last night, though, and got good sleep. Today was 100 percent better. Went to stage 2 at Breakfast and stage 3 for lunch. Got discharged around 4.

It felt SO good to get home and shower!!!! Resting comfortably now, just sipping and walking.

Go back on Monday for my followup appointment.

Had mine on 8 th too but will be released tomorrow cause of trapped gas pain but surgery went fine and dandy

I was sleeved on the 8th... came home on the 10th... today is my first day of full liquids and I am finding myself "full" - so it is taking me like an hour and a half to finish one cup. I have been very lucky - no pain really - just nausea, but I haven't thrown up at all. I am doing my walking and have had no gas pain. I went home with my OnQ... will take that out tonight or tomorrow - not looking forward to doing that by myself - that is probably when I throw up... just seeing that - gross! I am just pleased at how I feel - much much better than I thought it would be!!

New here! Just had my date moved from February to January! Oh so excited!!!

Just got back home from the hospital got out of the shower and shaved feel like a million bucks I wish I had done this 10 years ago

Good deal. Congrats. Yeah, the shower was a HUGE thing for me.

Was sleeved on the 8th just showered today (shower is upstairs so I had to wait). Feel more human now. Had bad nausea in recovery but have been doing ok since--haven't needed my nausea drugs. Have some gurgle/gas pains and soreness overall but able to manage. My only issue is well...still haven't gone number 2 (sorry for the tmi). Going to take something to move things along tomorrow also hoping to get off the pain meds altogether that should help.

Great, Woobs! Right back at you with the tmi. Same here on #2. It's been three days. Not worried yet and don't feel like I need to go. But it sure is weird.

Have not used my nausea or my painkiller since coming home. I think I'm going to stockpile the painkiller for the first time my back gives out, as I can't use my miracle drug of 800mg Advil anymore for that.

I'm on a nasty-assed prescription of Protonix, which my doc says is given to everyone for reflux and stomach soothing. Tastes like crap.

Ahhhhhh shower!!! I feel sooooo much better now. I had to wait to take my last tubes out - which I did at midnight because they were leaking so bad! I feel great today - day 4 post-op! I am a little sore and wasn't able to get all my Protein in yesterday... but making a huge effort to get it all in today!

My kidneys are sore - anyone else experiencing that? I don't know if it's because of lying on my back so much or because I haven't gone number 2 yet (I'm not constipated that I know of)....I will walk even more today to see if I can get the kinks out - and I walked alot yesterday!!!

Glad to hear the 8th sleevers are doing so well!!! Let's get this done!! :-)!!!!

Starting liquids today... Wish me luck! Any suggestions for survival?? Thx!

The pre surgery diet liquids? I was lucky and didn't have to do strictly liquids, but mine sucked too.

No advice other than get your chin up, put your head down and get to work, and remember that all things worth anything come with sacrifice. You got this!

Haven't heard about kidneys hurting. I'd be sure to tell your doctor about that. Have you peed? I'd think that would be related to kidneys much more than being constipated.
