I got my date (October 15th) and my insurance approval. I'm excited and nervous. Who else is being sleeved in October?

I just read the last 2sTys worth of posts

. Congratulations to all you newbies. You all sound great!

Great job and continued sucess to the sleeves from the early and mid part of October.

Awesome nd inspiring. I am happy for you all!

One week post op and I'm down 12 pounds. I was feeling really well today, so I replaced the hallway light fixtures and started painting the hall.

Crazy that two days ago I couldn't get out of bed without pain meds.

MsK1972. How are you doing?? Feeling??

I'm feeling good thanks! I have been trying to stay hydrated - that's probably been the toughest thing. I'm surprised that I have little pain - not much gas pain either. I haven't used pain meds since the hospital. How r u doing?

I am glad that you are progressing so well. I am still using my gas x strips. I am still walking a lot. I'm so happy, I broke down today

These little tiny cups if liquids make me very nauseas but I'm pushing through that too.

Walking definitely helps! Glad to hear u are so happy - it's definitely an emotional time w so many changes coming our way.

Took mine off after 3 days but I had 0 pain and no issues I'd say play it by ear unless otherwise told by a doctor

I am in the same boat - no pain and no issues - I so bad want to take it off because its a bit annoying but if I have to keep it on I will. Maybe I should call to find out.

I feelgreat. No pain to speak of, getting the gas out, walking alot. Got rid of the IV.
