Hi,

Where are all the March sleevers, I've seen a few but not any post recently. I am almost finished with all my the required medical approvals and classes but don't have an exact date yet.

Sleeved on Monday... 25th. Uneventful recovery. Working on the fluids.

I just got called this morning to be at the hospital tomorrow at 5:30AM I am so nervous !!!

That's awesome! I am 10 days post op! First 4 days were the hardest, i kept thinking why did i do this to myself? What was I thinking??? I took no pain meds after 2:00 pm on the day of my surgery, once I was awake to tell my nurses to stop pushing it!!! Had nausea for first 4 days, but had meds that took it away!! No gas pains as I was up and walking a.s.a.p. ice chips and water are all I really drank in the hospital, a little decaf tea! I have lost 25 pounds!! 9 pre-op on my 6 day liquid diet and 19 post op! So I'm super excited about the results so far from 250 down to 225! Yay!

Wow that's crazy if you don't mind me asking how come you stopped the pain medication??? And CONGRATS on your weight loss !!

I just didn't need it the pain was tolerable and I usually get a lot of nausea with pain meds, so I would rather be a little uncomfortable than nausea's.

I had surgery on Monday and when I stepped on my home scale this morning I was up 6 pounds . I haven't eaten much at all ! I hope it is just water retention from the IV drip and I will wake up tomorrow and it will be back down!!

My surgery was on the 25th also, first day back home today. I am up 5 pounds. I think it is the IVs.

Yes ladies its the Iv fluids. I was the same for about 2 or 3 days. Hang in there.

Experiencing a range if emotions.....have to be at the hospital @ 11:30...whoa!!!

How long did y'all wait before going back to work?

I really thought I would go back in less than a week but no you need atleast a good full week to 2 weeks. I go back to work monday and next wednesday would be 2 weeks from my surgery. You need time to heal and regroup and learn the drinks and your intake, because its truly a Huge life change.

I also have two weeks off.. Go back next Tuesday and still am moving slow and can't bend over very well without getting a sharp pain in my lower left side just above my bellybutton. So I'm nervous that I didn't take enough time off. Plus I am tired a the time.

I'm the same way I've upped my protein shakes and don't forget to take your multi vitamin as well and it helps that tiredness. I was the same way.

New to site recently decided to change from getting a lap band to a sleeve. Will be sleeved on Friday, March 29th. Good luck everyone!

God luck to you Tangie I'm here for you. Good choice
