Hi everyone! My name is Janel and I'm 20 years old. I was sleeved June.26th and I am recovering pretty well. The first couple days it was rough & i admit, I did have a little bit of buyers remorse but I made it through and I returned back to work. Has anyone else been sleeved recently?! How are you doing?

Hi Janel I was also 6/26 and the first few days after I came home were rough. I had major buyer's remorse. It also surprised me that I was very emotional . That is not like me. I had to talk myself back, reminding myself why I wanted the sleeve. My family was very supportive when I was down. The first month will be tougher due to the lack of choices but really the rest will be doing what we know we must do to be healthy. Congratulations on going back to work! How was it! I am a little nervous about getting my fluids in and not getting so busy at work I get behind.

Same here. I always try to think about the outcome of it all. But thank you! Luckily I have a desk job so I don't have to do much. I went to work nervous because I thought I would be bombarded with questions for the fact that I haven't told anyone that I was getting surgery and that I work in the medical records dept. at a hospital. But any way, today was my best day for getting my fluids in. It's been such a struggle!

Sleeved 6/25. Doing great, little to no pain. liquids going down ok. Yesterday had a weird episode, felt faint and clammy, laid down then felt better. My doctor thinks it was a transient drop in my blood pressure. Still tired and weak, but am back to work and am happy happy so far. 9 pounds down since surgery.
