Overall this not been bad at all. I had my sleeve March 9th and and down 17 lbs and feeling great. Two nights in the hospital, the worst part of pain was the location where they removed the portion of the stomach. Other sites were barely sore. Came home and only tok pain med one more day. I'm up to a mile 3 days a week on the treadmill. For those posting about what to bring to the hospital, Pillow for the ride home and stretch pants. I took everything everyone suggested and didn't use any of it, including the pjs. It's easier to get up and move as well as go to the bathroom in the hospital gown. Pjs would have hit right where the incisions were.
I'm trying to to look at what everyone is losing. My surgeon reminded me that everyone loses at a different rate, so to just focus on getting my calories in. I'm still having trouble with that. Since I don't really have any appetite I have to force myself to eat
Anyway..just an update and I hope everyone else is having great results too!
