One night seems quick. Wonder if it was an insurance thing? I have to stay 2 nights

I only stayed one night too. I was self pay and had two nights but I had no nausea or trouble keeping up with the liquids. I also walked like a mad woman so I asked if I could go home. Of course, in hindsight I probably should have stayed since they parked me in a beautiful 2 room suite! That doesn't happen every day! lol!

I'm also overnight, going home in the morning.

You must be doing well! Good going! Keep walking and sipping! :)

Hi, yes! I just had surgery on March 8, 2013 in the Dominican Republic. I was there for 1 week. I'm now back in NJ, and 2 weeks post-op.

I'm glad you started this thread!

Who was your Doctor in DR?

Wow, 11 days already! I feel like i just read a preop post from you! Thanx for the taking tip. I have a bunch left over from my preop diet and wasn't sure when or if I'd be able to use them. Tomorrow is surgery for me.

Good luck to you!

Sleeved yesterday with Dr. Gersin, surgery went great, and he says I should not have any problems. Just restarted my BP meds and will probably go home tomorrow. So far doing well holding down liquids, i try to drink 30 cc every 15-30 minutes, and have no pain except on the side where they took out my stomach. I am so happy and my husband has been great....????

Made it!!! Not gonna lie, pain is no joke. They found a mass on my liver (most likely benign) and tried unsuccessfully to get a biopsy but no luck so I have a few extra incisions. Other than that, seem to be progressing normally. Hope to go home tomorrow. GL for tomorrow's sleevers!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
