6 days post op today and so far I've had a great experience. I'm already 1/2 a lb. less than my Dr's one month goal for me and I'm learning how to manage life as a sleeved person. It's a whole new routine with different "rules" and totally different internal feelings. Almost no pain now other than the occasional gas discomfort and I'm up and around almost at 100%. I still get worn out after being up a while, but if I sit down for about 30 minutes I feel refreshed. Everyone who said keeping up with hydration, proteins and vitamins is a full time job wasn't lying, but it's worth it!

Woot wooot! I am so happy for you and am glad you are feelin' good! Thank you for posting updates, it is good to hear from you and nice to read how your recovery is going. Merry Christmas!

At last, you are on the losers bench. Glad things are well.

Later Loser!

OMG you are right I am only 2 days post-op really no pain just a lot of gas cramping in my stomach.

Thanks y'all!

Let me say ... it only gets better. Wait til you get frustrated because clothes don't fit. Wait til all of your friends start making comments about how much weight you have lost. It's coming. Be ready for it. Congrats on getting the sleeve. I am certain you will be happy with the decision you made. Welcome to the club.

i had my sleeve on 12-22-14, so far it has been easy, the only issue I have is that I fell heartburn, almost all the time, any suggestions

Acid reducer daily !

I'm so happy for you! Sounds like you are doing great. I hope to join you on the losers bench in feb. please keep us updated on your progress :-)

Yeah and dont be a dummy like me. Its over the counter and I bought the Wal mart brand and its about half the price. I thought I needed a prescription for the acid reducer. It helps big time.

FYI, some of us required a stronger acid-reducer, like Protonix, which is Rx only.

Congrats, @bobbyswife. Sounds like you have this figured out.

Just do one day at a time what you gotta do.
