PS. Do you think I need to stay in Hotel close by hospital the night of my surgery, or travel home since the next day will probably be worse??? The town I live in does not offer lap band, so I wonder if there are complications, should I be in that town??????????Thanks

You don't get to be overnight in Hosp?

I don't know I had a two hour drive and it was next day. I was so nauseated that I couldn't have made it the same day. But, you may not be like me (I also had my gallbladder out). What kind of car do you have if it's low to the ground rent another one van or suv that sit's up hirer. My port area has hurt so bad that I couldn't twist or sit on low surfaces, let alone get up fom one. Good Luck.

I did not have to stay in the hospital over night I was teher from 5.00am untill 5.30 pm It was a long day

I am doing OK

Today I actually did stuff around my house that has been long forgotten about I am score tonight but that is my own fault for over doing it.

Today I felt so much better and I could not sit down any longer

I am a stay at home mom so I will not be returning to work

My doctor said that he wante dme off work for 2 weeks and that he will write a letter saying that for my employer I looked at my husband and asked him if he thought it would help for me to get a 2 week break he just laughed.

Good luck at returning to work

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
