Any other July 1st sleevers home?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery at 7:30 am yesterday and my doctor discharged me this afternoon. I was up just about every hour to pee last night. That wasn't good for my sleep, but it did get me moving around.

Mine was at 8am yesterday and I'm already home. They practically kicked me out and said I was god enough to come home. I disagreed, but the promised I'd be okay. I had a 3 hour ride home and I AM HURTING. I was not one of the lucky ones who had an easy surgery... it's been rough every step. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. God luck to all the other July Firsters!

Can I be in your July First group? Mine was 6/24 just a week earlier. They kept me on hospital 4 days and I was up walking first day! Everything went great! I guess all dr's are different. My start weight prior to 2 week liquid was 277 then at hospital before surgery 262. As of this morning I am 257! That's incentive for me!!

I was at Victory Hospital in Houston. I was feeling good and am not worried about being at home. I'm just glad to be off of the IV fluids. My IV's don't last long and they needed to start a new line in the middle of the night. I've had 1 c-section and 2 unmedicated child births (one to a 9 lb. 1 oz baby), so I kind of feel like this wasn't so bad. I start of full liquids tomorrow and will see how I do with that.

Mine was July 1st in the morning and I'm still in hospital. Will go home this afternoon. Having a hard time. Lots of chest discomfort. Plus my IV fell out and they could not get back in so had to switch to liquid pain med which I'm having some trouble getting down. Feels like everything I swallow is getting stuck in my chest. I also threw up a little last night after taking my medicine too fast I guess.

My doctor has still only allowed Water and clear Protein but I think that's all I can handle.

I also had my surgery on july 1st with Dr.Bina in Houston. I came home yesterday around noon. Sipping and walking. I have to admit my body is “waking up" from the anesthesia and if you think its air your trying to let out think again ...RUN to the restroom .. there is no warning .. sorry if Its Tmi but it just happened to me. Time for a shower .. but listen to your body

I was sleeved yesterday around 9:30 am and I was sent home this morning around 9 am. I too had to keep getting up to pee. The pain is pretty bad around the sights. I am on liquid lortab every 6 hours but have been taking it every 5. I just can't seem to get comfortable sitting or laying. When I walk around I feel like by belly is pulling me down right now. Hope this gets better tomorrow. I know am and only 1 day out. My gas pains in the chest cavity were the worst yesterday. Here's looking forward to tomorrow!

My sleeve procedure was around 11:00 a.m. on Monday (July 1st); I just came home today (Wednesday). I've concentrated on walking around a lot to try to tame the mega-painful extra-large gas bubbles that rumble around every single time I swallow any liquid (clear or full, doesn't matter).

My trochar sites are still sore and I'm having to pee pretty often, but that's no biggie. I'd just like to be able to take teeny sips of Soup or Crystal Light without feeling like my stomach is trying to take up a new yoga routine. Owie.

I ended up in hospital for two nights due to some complications, but arrived home today. I look like I'm 9 months pregnant as I'm so bloated. I really hope the gas starts to subside as it is causing me a lot of pain.

I'm was sleeved July 1st at 7:30 and home by 1:00 on Tuesday. I felt really good when I was leaving the hospital but after the ride home, things went a little down hill. I was so nauseated last night that I was in tears and having some serious doubts about what I had gotten myself into. I know a lot of it was the pains meds and I am feeling much better today but still having bouts of nausea! Also, everything I swallow feels like it gets stuck for about 2 seconds and then the pain goes away. I think its just gas but I don't want to pass it off if its something more serious.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
