I was banded this morning and doing well. The doctor requires an overnight stay. I have walked a few times and am allowed 1oz of ice chips every hour. Hoping for good things ahead!

My insurance required an overnight stay! I was glad! I live an hour away and did not want the ride immediately after surgery. But, also, did not want to be home where even tho' people want to be helpful, you end up having to do more htna you should have to! Congratulations, and best wishes for a great recovery. Happy New Year! Karen..aka.kll724

I was outpatient and live almost two hours from the surgery center. I just requested an extra bump of pain meds right before I left and my husband was as careful as he could to give me as smooth a ride as possible and it wasn't bad. I was happy to go home, right away, settle into my recliner and fully relax. I am glad that my insurance goes for immediate discharge as long as you are stable. I far prefer to recover in the comfort, quiet and privacy of my own home. :)

I was banded on the 26th too. How are you doing? I went straight home. My husband got me up every hour and made me walk around the house. He made me use my incentive spirometer and gave me pain meds around the clock for the first 24 hours. And I'm the nurse!!! I hated him and loved him for it!! Lol!!! I just wanted to curl up and sleep!

@Sengelken- Sounds like you have a great hubby!! My recovery has been going great!! Took Tylenol Friday and Saturday pretty faithfully, and then only twice on Sunday. I have random pain in my left shoulder, but it is just slightly uncomfortable. I feel really lucky to be doing so well. I get up every hour or 2 and walk around inside the house for about 5 minutes and then rest on the couch. I'm almost caught up with everything on my DVR!(LOL). Hope you are recovering well.

Sounds like your recovery is going smoothly. I pray mine goes as well when I am banded.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
