I know lots of people in the Facebook group have too - some say gas-x strips work but for others it's just a matter of waiting it out :-/ I hope I don't have much gas pain.

Hello all April Sleevers, I had my sleeve done today, actually it was yesterday morning at 5:30am. Surgery went very well and I had a small hernia repair done as well which I didn't know I had. Surgery only lasted about an hour and since that time, I have walked the long hall 3 times and been sucking on ice chips the whole time. I thank God that I haven't had any issues. One piece of advice I would give would be to follow doctors orders as close as possible, suck on the ice chips, walk as much as possible and listen to your fellow sleevers who have had it done already. Good luck to everyone and if you have any questions I'm here. God Bless.

It's 3 am here in ca. I had my surgery yesterday, came home around 4 in the afternoon. Had gas pain making my shoulders prety painfull! I was allowed to start Protein and liquid straight away. By evening the gas pain was almost unnoticeable because of the heat pad I use! The medication for pain is starting to kick in I take it because it makes me sleep! Good luck to every one pre and post.

Mine is on April 25th. Im on Day 3 of the Protein Shake only pre-op diet, and I am so bitchy and hungry and hangry. The smell of food is making me insane.

BUT.

It will be worth it.

Hey Elle!! Yay to a surgery day buddy!!! Where are you from?

I am from Maryland. Started the pre-op diet today. Did pretty good and feeling motivated to get through this. How are things going for you? Do you have to do a pre-op diet? It is cool to have a surgery day buddy! I am new to posting to the website so still figuring things out here but I appreciate this community.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
