Hey all, I had my sleeve done 48 hours ago, I came home after about 35 hours, the surgeon and nurses were highly impressed with my recovery so they let me leave.

My biggest problem was all the gas pain it shot up to my shoulders and was quite uncomfortable. I am pleased to say, no gas pain today! My surgeon has given me these small injections to use on my stomach, I have a needle phobia and even with my mum around I still haven't been able to inject myself today.

Apart from that I am so glad I had it done. I feel fine no pain whatsoever and no complaints. I will keep you all updated

Ewwwww! What kind of injections?

I am on day three post op and I came home day one, too. I woke up feeling great and ready to try a Protein drink. Not saying its going to happen, but the thought isn't as repulsive as yesterday.

Congratulations on being sleeved! Glad you're doing so well. Are the injections to prevent blood clots? I had those while I was in the hospital.

I hate Lovenox shots, or I hated them six years ago. Have they gotten any less painful?

Oh GAWD no. They hurt like an SOB.

Had mine on May 15. Did well. Got released yesterday. Excited!

I seriously hope I don't have to take them... We'll see when I meet with the hematologist.

Fortunately I didn't. Glad about it. Hope it goes fast for you.

Still avoiding those injections,yeah they're to thin the blood and avoid clots.

Thank you for all your messages, I am so pleased I found this.
