I felt the same fear. I am a nurse, so I thought of disasters, I was not even told about LOL I was terrified of the drain, I cant take pain meds, so was terrified of how I would deal, I was so worried about nausea from anestesia, wow I had quite a list of fears. Truth is, I did not use any pain meds after except the liquid tylenol, iv drip. Besides when I had to sit up, I honestly was comfortable, and the next week on thursday, I was at yard sales. The drain was weird, but so quick I did not have time to even worry, I wish the nausea was just as easy, but for me, I always react to anestesia, and I knew ahead of time, zopran and phetergine, would not work, so it was a challenge for me for 3 days, and then ended as quick as it came. During that time, it was rough, but looking back now, I was very lucky. You will be fine, just listen to what your body needs. In a week, you will wonder why you let yourself get so worried :) prayers to you all, and speedy recovery

      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? 🤷‍♀️
