After months of waiting, I am now officially sleeved!

It finally happened! I am about six hours post-op and I can't tell you how relieved I am to be here. I am not much for posting things, I normally just read and find helpful tips, advice, and information but I felt this was cause to break out of my little shell a bit!

I was so worried about how I would feel post-op. My pain tolerance is pretty low. But I have to say I feel pretty good. Really my only "complaint" is being tired.

As much as I enjoyed eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, I get the feeling I am going to enjoy being healthy and slimmer even more.

And thank you, to all of you for all the info you've posted over the years. You have all been a great resource for me and reading about your experiences has been a huge help!

Thanks for all the well wishes! I'm struggling a little but I'm trying to just focus on getting enough fluids and walking as much as my body will allow. I know that eventually I will feel more like myself so I am trying not to dwell on feeling bad right now.

Congratulations and nice to see you are feeling alert and relatively pain free so soon after surgery!

So happy for you! Yes the first week or two are very hard but just tell yourself, "tomorrow will be better". It does get better each day that passes. If you're having problems with drinking Water change the temp, that helps. Room temp water feels heavy in my stoamch so adding ice of freezing it a bit helps a lot.

The walking part will work itself out as you feel better each day, but it helps so much with gas.

Please keep us updated!
