I was sleeved on March 25th. My first 4 days were rough like that. It does get better! I hardly have any pain and I have been meeting my goals.

You did get hit by a bus! They didn't tell you that happened while you were out?? lol, well it gets much better after about 5-6 days you begin to feel a little normal. I am 3 weeks out and some days are better than others with the gas and the incision pain, the one where the stomach comes out still gets me sometimes!! Pain meds, gas x, and prevacid are your friends right now, use them! Good luck!

It gets better! I am 11 days out and feel good. No real soreness at all. Went shopping for several hours this morning. You're doing great :)

I was sleeved on March 19. I felt better when I first came home than now. Nausea and vomitting the last 4 days. No appetite. Doctor put me on chewable prevacid.

They can give you something for the nausea. Take the meds offered to you, they are worth it. Each day gets better and better, have faith. As for the driving, you can drive when you are no longer on narcotic pain meds and are able to look over your shoulder (to check your blind spot) without pain. I took about a week or week and a half. Others go back to driving sooner. All depends on your meds and how you feel.

Hang in there! You will feel great soon!

I was sleeved on the 20th and was able to stop pain meds on the 27th and I drove for the first time today. I honestly didn't notice a real decrease in pain/discomfort until yesterday which was 9 days out. I did shop today for a few hours with my family. I also had an allergic reaction to the skin glue that was used during surgery which made my discomfort higher (intense burning/itching). Hang in there! You'll start to feel better soon!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
