December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[birdbutch 7]

Well friends, I was sleeved yesterday. I also had a hiatel hernia repaired. The hernia surgery site is more tender than the sleeve sites. I don't have too much pain except, like most have said, the gas pains are painful as heck. Took the gas X strips but for me, they don't help much.walking doesn't seem to be ring much relief yet either, but other than the gas pain, the surgery went great! i thought the pain would be a lot worse than it really is. Surgeon says I should be able to go home tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences with us. It helped me tremendously.

Best of luck and brightest blessings to all December sleepers.

<p>Good luck all Dec. sleevers. I was sleeved on 12/4 and I'm down 13.5 pounds. Today is my 2 week weigh in, I've been stalled at this exact weight for 5 whole days, and I'm hoping to see the scale move soon!</p>

Caligirl3 you are not alone!

Sleeved 12/3 and after a 13 lb loss been stalled for 6 long days! Ugh! So frustrating. It is too soon!!!!

Had to call surgeon tonight. Have some left side pain and it hurt to put my arm down by my side. He thinks it is muscle skeletal pain and to call him back if I get a fever over 100, chills or heart palpitations. Ugh can't wait to go to sleep.< /p>

I may have been unusual, but I have had no nausea. I know I was given IV's the night before with antibiotic and anti-nausea meds. I also had a drain and the "yucky" stuff left inside was draining out. So far, so good.

Hi all! I'm new on here and was sleeved on 12/09. My weight the day of surgery was 224 and I'm now down to 214 (I'm about 5'4). Still experiencing the left sided pain, which my surgeon said was normal since that's the side they pull your stomach out of. I can't wait until next week when I can start experimenting with soft foods. Getting enough Protein in a day is still a challenge, but it's getting easier everyday.

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved tomorrow :-)

I'm getting sleeved in the morning also! Yay!

[sknyinside 99]

Good luck to all the sleevers tomorrow! Hope everyone has an uneventful surgery and recovery!

Just want to send well wishes & a speedy recovery to you all.
