The left side is where most of your pain will be...it is where they do most of the "work"....my surgeon told me beforehand to expect it. A heating pad helped me...and of course pain meds:)

That where your stomach actually is :). That's where the real work was done! Glad you're doing okay!!!

Thanks ladies. Doc thought maybe small hematoma and put ice on it. I was expecting a lot more pain, so I am excited to drink with no complications. Now, if I could fart! Ugh.....

I didn't fart for the first time until right before I came home, mostly burping which my doc was happy with. The embarrassing thing was the fart was awful and right afterward my pharmacy tech came to consult on my post op meds. Icky! I felt bad, but he was totally cool about it. Still mostly just burping (4 days post op) unless I am lying down.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
