I just had my sleeve on the 9th, I got out of hospital on the 11th. Still trying to work through the quirks, but would be happy to answer any questions

Hello,

Congrats :-). Describe the pain if any? Did you require a drain and catheter? Who was your surgeon? Where was your procedure performed? How do you feel now happy, relieved, etc?

Thanks:-)

The pain is sharp right on my breast bone, I had a hernia repair right below my breast bone, so that and where they pull the stomach out at hurts the worst. My left shoulder feels like I pulled it, but they say its trapped.gas, I keep ice on it.

I did not have a drain, thank goodness, my surgeon was Dr. Anwar and I was at st Francis hospital in federal way, WA.

It's slow going right now, I'm glad to be home, and I'm relieved the worst part is over, I had a hard time post op, so I had to stay an extra day, but I don't feel near as bad now, every day gets easier, I walk around a lot and I'm constantly taking small sipps of Water and eating hello, both are soothing to me, and my body tells me and reminds me to take very small sips and very small bites, I have found there is a spot in my esophagas that is tight so, if its much going thru there it hurts until it gets past that spot, prolly due to where they fixed the hernia, other than that, I'm doing alright. Hope that helps you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
