I was just googling some info, and this app forum came up. I swear I almost cried. I have huge support from my family, but I'm the one going through it. My sleeve date was May 1. The new beginning of my life. I've always battled with weight, my family and friends know I'm healthy. No underlined n medical problems whatsoever, my blood pressure is that of an athlete. Anyway. I got it done bc I was tired of being fat. And I worked out, walked dieted. And still fat! Just healthy. My recovery was good, I was in the hospital longer due to me being nauseated. Goodness that was a mess, come to find out. It was one of the meds that was supposed to stop the nausea that was causing it. Ha! Congratulations to all of you ladies and gentlemen. And thank whomever made this forum and I pray that we are a great support to one another as we are all on the same journey. HUGS TO YOU ALL!!!

Hi, glad to hear ur doing well since surgery - I am only in the beginning stage- just met with the nurse practitioner for my physical.. still 3 months of preparation to go.. very nervous, but I hear it is well worth it. Best of luck to you.

Hi!!! Welcome to the forum!!

My surgery day was May 2nd. I'm feeling really good!

Welcome! I was sleeved in dec....we are all in this together!

wow so glad to hear you both have been thru this. as I said I am in the beginning stages- having just met with the nurse practitioner, surgery for me wont be until August/September (ish). Excited and nervous at the same time I think this forum will be helpful. Best of luck to you both!!!

Thank you all. My surgery was great. And as I said, other than the nausea. I felt great. I didn't use the pain meds at the hospital because I'd the pain, but because it put me to sleep despite the nausea. I feel great. The only thing. Is make sure you DRINK YOUR WATER!!! Otherwise you'll feel beyond tired. Hugs to you all!! Excited is the best word I can use to describe what I'm feeling.

Don't know much into yet, but thanks for the water advice- I have a friend that had the surgery and I know she said she drinks 68 ounces of fluid a day.. she has had a great outcome... thx for ur help.. glad u feel well :-)

Thank you. And you're welcome. I just wanted to add, which I didn't in my initial post. My surgery date I weighed 228lb. My appt last tues, I weighed 220lb. I haven't weighed myself today. After this I will.

I lost 13lbs in my first 9 days post op! I'm not expecting that every week because of the hospital fluids/water weight, but YAY!

Congratulations!!!
