Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

Taken Chances, don't be ashamed. You're human a we all make mistakes. I fell off the wagon about 3-4 times, but got back on track (as much as I could) each time. Good luck. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hi everyone how are the ones who was sleeve yesterday and past week. Let me start of sleeve Monday the 11th. After surgery in pain but I was able to handle it plus the nurses were great. Was discharged home on Tuesday. Well trying to sleep I couldn't do well bc I was so sore and couldn't get comfortable. This morning still sore I was told that the doctor repair a hiatal hernia. No gas pain I am glad of it I have been walking lots

Hopefully it will be better today. Want to send out prayers to one beening sleeve today and next weeks to come. Remember walk walk and walk. I am glad I went through it even though I am sore and can't, get comfortable.

Got my sleeve yesterday. Did really good with pain until time to go to sleep. Used lots of pain meds than. Hopefully get to go home today. The one hole they took my stomach out of is really sore.

I was sleeved yesterday and was so sleepy all day. Woke up more in the afternoon and walked a couple times. Still having some pain in the upper part of my abdomen, but nothing I can't tolerate. Need to get moving more today and hopefully all that gas they pumped in can work its way out. Wishing all those sleeved a speedy recovery and everyone yet to be sleeved a safe surgery!

I was also sleeved yesterday and it actually went better than expected. I'm having hardly any gas pain, but tons of pain on the incision site. Luckily the pain meds have been pretty helpful!

Wishing everyone who has been and who is getting sleeved this week!

Hello All. I was sleeved on Aug 11th. Went very well. It was at 7:15am and I was home by 5 on the 12th. Achy pain. Some gas pain. But all very very well! Walking, Sipping and more Walking and more Sipping. And then sleep when I feel like it. Hope it goes just as easy for everyone on their way! Best wishes everyone!!!

@hazeleyedq. My surgery has been changed to Sept. 3rd. I wanted to go away for my wedding anniversary. Good luck to you.

I just called and got my arrival time...6am. That's fine, doubt I'll get much sleep tonight anyway!

Made it home yesterday and the pain has not been too bad. I would recommend a pillow to put between you and the seat belt for the ride home. I am just walking and getting fluids in.
