I started to feel much better on day 5. I was still tired by the pain was basically gone. I think the pain was worse the first 2.5 days. After day 5 I could lay on my side and not be in pain (sometimes just felt like I did a lot of sit ups.) You'll be surprised how quickly you'll start feeling like your old self. Remember, sleep and rest when your body tells you to. Drink, drink, drink.

Good luck

Marcia

I'm in Kansas, got sleeved 12/15. The first week was not the most fun but it gets better! Like Marcia said, just rest whenever you need too, focus on drinking and the getting better will happen.

Kansas here. Sleeved Feb. 15th. I used the narcotic button pretty much that first day/night and didn't hurt nearly so much the next day, though it felt like I'd been doing crunches forever. It gets better.

I had my sleeve surgery on 9/28. It gets SO much better. Be patient and give yourself time. I'm still not 100% healed. It's a big learning curve, but I think if you embrace it and enjoy it, you will love it! I had my surgery at Menorah in Overland Park

I had Dr Hoehn. Dec 15th...they were great

I had Dr. Hoehn as well and I had the sleeve done on March 22nd. The whole experience was Awesome. The staff was excellent.
