Hey everyone just trying to get all the September Sleevers together! I have my surgery September 30th. So when I wake up on the first of a new month I'll be a new person in the making let's all support and help one another!!

NEED ADVICE!! I can't get this gas to go away. Using the strips and walking as much as I can. My new BP meds are making me weak.

Anyone else scheduled for September 29th? My surgerys at 11:30 sept. 29th

Hi Glamblondie. I, too am scheduled for Monday September 29th. Scared to death but I am going through with it. Good luck to you on that day!

Sept 30 can't get here fast enough. Anyone else that day?

Hey guys I hope you all are in good spirits and great health! I am 2 weeks out now and I am having some pains under my left breast/ribs and upon inhalation. I am assuming it is a pulled muscle and or just my body healing up since surgery. It hurts to even breath:( I am not trying to be discouraging at all but am wondering if anyone else is having or has had this issue? This is not an excruciating pain but it is a dull nagging feeling and I hope that it is not something serious.... that is the hypochondriac coming out in me. I think I have been overdoing things because I am trying to get up and walk and I don't know if I am trying to do to much. I even called the ER today. The nurse told me it sounds fine not symptoms of a leak, just like anyone who has had this surgery I am worried. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi all........I'm two weeks out as well and am feeling new pings and twitches. I,too, feel some pain on the left side of my belly.....like I've been exercising too hard and am bruised. I'm wondering if it is caused by our bodies finally undergoing nerve reconnections. I don't get winded tho. As far as overdoing thing, today I am forcing myself to rest because yesterday I spent the entire day out with my sisters and woke up today feeling exhausted. I know I didn't get my Water or Protein requirements yesterday and the combination is brutal. I'm still having a hard time getting my protein requirements in. I am in the soft food stage now, which is better than the pureed stage but still hard to figure out what exactly to eat. Plus, with drinking all the fluids, I find I'm not interested in food at all. Anyway, good luck to everyone and hang in there!

I'm five days out. Starting to feel more normal, still a ways to go though. Does anyone else feel literally every single thing as it goes into your stomach and then moved into your intestines? If so, how long does this last? It doesn't hurt but it is uncomfortable.

I fee everything that hits my stomach I can't take the taste of anything vitamin. My plans to grind my pills have gone down the tube... Haha tube. I'm sore and just sipping slowly. My drain tube was removed before I left friday and is covered with gauze and waterproof sealant when am I supposed to change that?

I'm 4 days post op(Sleeve with a hiatal hernia repair)!!!!! yay!!! Is anyone experiencing intense hunger pains in the middles of the night??? Is anybody hurting a little when your trying to drinking anything???

Hunger or gas pains!! Yes. And learning just how much of a swallow I can handle is an ongoing process! Hang in there

Today is 2 weeks exactly post op and it feels like an eternity! I have not had majorly intense hunger pains but let me tell you when you do eat and you eat too much or too big of a bite you will never make that mistake twice I had a horrid experience the other day and just like I said it will never happen again. It hurt so bad I can't even describe it! It's a learning process for all of us. We are going to make it and in a couple of months we are going to be pros at this

24 hours since I was in recovery and feeling great. Dr told me they are kicking me out because I'm making it look too easy and im too nice....I'll take that anyway. My only issues were painful in recovery until they got the pain under control and when I was moved to pills for pain and hbp medications it gaveme heartburn. I have never been so happy to be in clothes vs a hospital gown. Hope all my fellow 9/30 sleeves are doing great and going home today.

@@cmick14 rock on with that positive attitude. that is half the battle right there!!!

I'm 2 days post op and it seems I feel everything I swallow. I also had a hernia. I don't feel hungry at all it's more of me wanting to guzzle down water but I can't. The sipping is something to get use to I tell ya.
