I am having the sleeve done and I am sitting here wondering if I have to have that tube that you spoke of. No one mentioned a tube to me while talking to the DR. When they make sure nothing is leaking what do they do and is there any pain involved?

Tube was just for drainage of surgery site, pulling out wasn't painful at all was like a small scratch from a thorn. Made me feel alot better too. Moving around as soon as you can after surgery is key! For breathing too! I feel 20times better each time I walk the halls! It was confined I get it tonight!!!! Yippeeee!!!

Great news that you are feeling better. Yes walk walk walk! My friend just got back from her gastric sleeve surgery and she said if she would have known the pain 48hrs after surgery she would not have done it...however, she does feel great now and no pain just gas. Ask your doctor before you leave about evacuating, he might recommend Milk of Magnesia if you don't go after 6days. Good luck and keep up the updates.

Yes, much better now, down 11lbs from Monday, went thru a family food feat and didn't feel bad at all. Glad I didn't eat actually. Played with kids and helped wash dishes!

Hey canada just wanted to see how everything went?

Went ok, no pain, everyone was great, the only thing that happened, I had an allergic reaction to the anesthic so I was a balloon, face,feet hands, but after 5 days it is going down. I am feeling good, a few tummy spasms, my back is sore, but the more I walk ,the better it gets, trying to get all my liquids in, this I find hard because u get full so fast, so sipping constantly Friday I start the shakes so looking forward to that.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
