Surgery DONE! :)



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new here and just had my sleeve surgery on 9/16/13. I previously had the lap band placed in January 2009, and due to slippage it was removed May 2013. My surgeon was and still is so GOOD, I am so so glad I found out about him and had the sleeve done by him. I woke up with pain under control, (which never happens, lol), little to no gas feeling, and I felt actually better meaning no bloating feeling like I did before surgery. Yes I had swelling and bloating, but seemed like worse before surgery, I thank my doctor for doing an amazing job! Pain has not been to bad since coming home, same issues as everyone else the sleeping has been the worst for me. This am I did get pain in my right side that went to my back, doesn't feel like gas pain and so did some moving/walking sitting back down to see what happens. I am sure it is from extra stitches and part of my stomach being a little more difficult to come out, plus my surgery was longer then the normal hour and a half. I had some scar tissue to clear out and my doctor actually took his time instead of rushing thru. I feel like I have been given a second chance at being healthy, and I am going to get this weight back off of me so I get that healthy feeling again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
