I had my surgery on 4/4 and I have sailed through it. I had pain killers the first 2 days and that was it. I think resting a lot and walking in between helped me to do so well. Chap stick is a must and comfy clothes to go home in. Best wishes :)

A video of you with bed-head, in a hospital gown while high on painkillers would be fantastic ;-)

Bring a heat pad with you. It also helps with the gas pains. I slept with my electric heat pad on my abdomen or shoulder. Walking really does work! Good luck tomorrow

I am in the hospital surgery was 4 pm yesterday and I was recovery until 8 pm my surgery has been so easy that I almost don't believe I had it lol I had a Nausea patch placed behind my ear before surgery and have not felt nauseas yet. I'm a little tender when I get up or lay down but considering the facts this is nothing, I haven't had food since Friday or a drink since Sunday and its not nearly as bad as I thought :-)

I wish everyone has had the experience I have.

Just when I thought everything was going great i had the swallow test, first they said it was great and gave me some Water. 10 mon later the Iraq came in and told me there may be a small leak that I have to go back in 2 hours for another test. I am freaking out they won't even tell me what happens of it is a leak which scares me even more. Please pray for me

I have read that they have to go back in if there is a leak. So I will pray for you that it doesn't have a leak. Hang in there. Let us know.

Thank you so much for giving me some feedback. I hope I see 20 lbs gone soon ;-) my goal is to loose 93 so 20 in two weeks would be very motivational.

Don't get discouraged cuz I did :-( I was sleeved on 4/1, yesterday I was 2 weeks out n I weighted myself on Saturday n I only have lost 13lbs since surgery I was so disappointed (not to mention I stared my period on Saturday so I was kinda emotional) lol but hopefully I will start seeing more weight drop as other peeps have lost 20+ on their first 2 wks my journey has not been so. I hope once I'm off my period I will notice the difference. Also I started soft foods on Thursday so I think that's part of my stall :-(

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
