April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!



Recommended Posts

My surgery went well. Found a pretty sizable hiatal hernia while he was in there so repaired it as well. Lots of gas pain when I first got out of surgery, but it has since subsided. I walked as soon as I was able, and I do believe it has helped relieve the gas. I am not hungry or thirsty, but will work on getting those fluids in so I can go home this evening and get a full night of sleep. Best wishes for a safe and quick recovery everyone!

What does the "gas pain" feel like? So I don't freak out and can recognize immediately that it's just gas pains...where are they felt?

For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!!

SimplySharon for me, lots of rumblings in my abdomen and needing to burp alot. Sometimes gas does get trapped in your chest and it is extremely uncomfortable and can be very painful. I know it sounds gross, but pass gas often, burp frequently, and if allowed take GasX.

Wow! I love reading your stories, and so relieved you are all ok, done, and on the other side. My date is the 23rd, so the countdown app is running! I can tell you to the millisecond how far away (or close) my surgery is. I'll be checking on you all. I'll be happy when I'm not an outsider anymore!

Really sore and in a lot of pain. Can't seem to get my liquids down, including my pain meds! I pray this gets better and I don't end up regretting this decision.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
