Really? Outpatient? Wow...that would make me a little nervous. How are you feeling? Hope all is well and you have a speedy recovery.

My surgeon gave me the option of going home since I was doing so well. I've actually done pretty well. I still feel a lot of soreness around my larger incision, but other than that I've been good. I haven't had to take any pain medication since Wednesday. I was expecting to feel a lot worse since along with getting sleeved, my gallbladder was removed and I also had a hernia repair.

My surgeon said I could have my on a Monday and do outpatient or on a Wednesday and do hospital stay! I am torn because I will be out of town so either way I will not go straight home!

Just my thoughts but if your out of town and will be going back to a hotel why not just stay at the hospital? I know no one wants to be in the hospital but if it was me I would pick hospital staff over hotel staff. But that's just my thinking. Good Luck ????

I am not opposed to the hospital stay, I am just trying to be accommodating in my work place since NO ONE KNOWS and I don't want to bring attention to myself. ????

Went back to work today 6 days post op. I work 9 hr shifts so was pretty worried, but made it through without any problems! I've been struggling to get my fluids down, but had no problem at work :) When I was at home I would nap a lot I guess? Anyhow, have another 9 hr shift tomorrow then 2 days off then a 4 hr shift Friday. I work for a small company, so there was no way I could take off because there wouldn't be another nurse to cover me so I'm extremely blessed that I've had such a great surgery experience!!

Congratulations!!! I pray my experience is as good as yours. I will be starting a new job and less than 2 weeks off would be perfect for me!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
