I had surgery on Thursday. Left Saturday afternoon. Was ok for first week. About a week out developed excruciating muscular pain. Was completely laid up until 5 weeks post surgery. Was off for 6 weeks. But I'm apparently one of the very few exceptions to the rule;)

I had surgery this past Wednesday and left Saturday morning. My heart rate was up and I had alot of nausea so they kept me that extra day. I'm still very sore and it hurts to be up moving around so I'm still resting alot. Good luck :)

Surgery on Thursday went home on Friday. Went back to work after 2 weeks and other than being tired at work it was fine. I also was up moving and doing things immediately, mostly because moving and walking helps the gas pain anyway, so might as well walk in the air conditioned store or mall rather than the hot street more than I had to... I walked 3 to 4 times a day though LOL (was 90 plus the weeks after my surgery).

I had my surgery Aug 29 Wednesday, and left Thursday Aug 30. I had no complications or no breathing issues. I had no nausea or high blood pressure. I was well although I still have left side pain. It's more of an ache. Also a headache I don't know if it is from the sedation or what but I am sleepy so mostly resting and getting up every hour or so to walk a little. Hope it helps.

I went home the next day. Pain wasn't an issue and I was sooo ready to sleep uninterrupted for more than an hour!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
