Hi girls how r you. My surgery was in 12/28 everything went well but the gas was an issue first 2 days. After one week I'm much better, drove once for 15 mins and life is getting back to normal. 15 lbs already are lost , isn't amazing?

Sarasleeve hope you feel better keep us updated

So glad to hear your surgery went well! Mine did too. I was sleeved 12/29 and came home on New Years Eve. Pain is not a huge deal but the gas pain and the tenderness of my abdomen when walking, sitting, standing, is really uncomfortable. I have a huge bruise on my right side also and that's pretty sore. Having said that, I am having no issues getting in and keeping down Water, Jello, broth and a bit of Premier Protein so I can't complain there. The only thing really bugging me is when I move and my stomach moves - OW. Can't wait to post and hear more as time goes by!

Happy for you. I can't handle my Protein Shake but I'm trying my best

Update: my surgery went really well also. Didnt take any pain meds at the hospital but after coming home and my first sip of water the gas pains set in and so I started on the pain meds. Walking helps and burping but It's still floating around my upper body. Not fun at all, I can't wait for this gas to leave.

Congratulations. Keep us updated ????
