I am currently 4weeks out. I highly recommend getting some Gas-X strips and use a heating pad on the front of my tummy and also on my back. I used the heating pad the minute I got to my private room and also when at home for the first week. I never had any issues once i started to Gas X strips. Good luck!

Hey guys! I was finally sleeved yesterday morning. My surgeon told me everything was perfect. The anesthesia and morphine had me nauseous as hell, but I'm so much better now. Finally up and walking. I barely used the pain killer for my belly, just for my shoulder from the gas. Trying to eat more or rather drink more, but this hospital food blows. Sucralose all over the place bleh. Other than that I'm doing well. Thanks for all of your well wishes. Congrats to my fellow July 22 sleevers, and good luck to all future sleevers. It will be over before u know it.

Not every doctor requires them. Mine only required the day before. To be honest I'm thankful because I'm already bored with it.

Me too!! ????

Had my surgery this morning!! I'm doing ok! I have some pain in my abs and some gas pain but I'm on some good drugs! Have been in and out of consciousness throughout the day! But I'm good!! Should be going home Thursday! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Here's a list of my week one clear liquids:

Crystal Light' date=' sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-o, Broth, Propel, de-caffeinated tea/coffee[/quote']

I've been on a week of that, so sick of it

Surgery went well today. Was wiped out through most afternoon, but woke about 5:00 and had tons of energy.

Probably did 30 laps around the hall tonight. Very little abdominal pain, but my back aches from a disc I ruptured 4 years ago. Walking is really helping.

I am down 17.3 lbs since starting pre op. Dr says everything looks great. Husband had been amazing. I feel very blessed to have had this done. Thanks to all of you. Dr Hoehn in Kansas is amazing. I love his staff and the facilities.

All the best to the July 24 sleevers. Happy Sleeve Day!
