I had mine on the 16th! So far so good. Pain was very tolerable, yes I use my pain meds when needed. Gas in my cavity still a issue:( my post op appointment is today. Can't wait to see if the scale moves any!

We are surgery sisters. Mine was the 16th as well but I'm not in as good of shape with pain management.

WELL I've lost 14 lbs. The slower I sip they say the less the pain will be I don't feel like I've lost anything but that scale made me happy. The stomach incisions don't bother me at all. I guess it's the behavior mods

I could have stayed 2 nights but I wanted to go home. I had a very early 6am arrival 730 am surgery so really it was like I was there 2 days since left at 7pm following day. First day rest and a few walks, 2nd day early in day leak test then broth Jello ice chips a few times that day. Rest walking bathroom. I was on Fluid iv drip entire time which meant bathroom every 1-2 hours practically. I was able to go on my own they just stay outside bathroom to make sure you don't fall. Happy to be home in own bed without as much noise as hospital !

Good luck today Suzzzz! Had my surgery on Tuesday the 21st. I also had a hernia that they found and fixed. I was nauseous, in a bit of pain in the top part of my stomach and a good deal of pain in my left shoulder. Was on IV drip the entire time in the hospital so had to pee constantly and every 2.5 or 3 hours a walk about the floor. Couldn't sleep between the bed, the peeing and the constant vital checks. I had to stay in an extra day because I had an allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave me and I needed to get in more Water. I didn't want a single thing. They did a dye test while I was knocked out in the surgery and I did not have another leak test following that one. I was very happy with the ice chips. Get your ice chips! Walk walk walk. The walking eases the pain in your shoulders and your stomach so move. fart, burp and ride the hiccups. It all helps it go away. I have a sore throat and am coughing up a little phlem from the tube. Home today and still on Clear Liquids and don't want them but trying. Tomorrow full liquids. Can't imagine I will want that either but have to push and have to take meds so I'll have to make it work. My stomach hurts today drinking the Water. Do not want. I will get it in as I don't want to go backwards. Gained water weight from the IV drip I think as I came out weighing more than I did when I went in.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
