Sorry I didn't finish - I said for me and my health - everyone here should not feel like a failure - we should understand that this is a tool like another treadmill - just a tool we still have to use it and change our lives

Wow! I felt pretty good afterward and joked that i was ready to go home. Not sure that I really was. Good for you, hope you are feeling well.

Yes, surgery on Monday yesterday I slept on my side felt a bit odd at first but my stomach adapted quickly!

How much walking are you all doing. I'm day 2 and only feel like sleeping ?

I've been walking a lot! Started about an hour after I got to my room. Walked 1 1/2 miles on both Monday after surgery, and on Tuesday prior to coming home. Wednesday I walked around the block. Today I walked a mile. The walking has been a huge help. While I was at the hospital I woke up hurting around 4 a.m. I got up and did 7 laps around the hospital floor and felt much better. Remember, not everyone is affected the same. I had no side effects like nausea or dizziness. Not even extremely tired. Perhaps, I'm just fortunate.

Hi all. Got sleeved 3:30pm yesterday. Bit of pain to begin with but nothing too bad. The gas pain is worse & surprisingly my stomach doesn't hurt at all. Drugs are my friend. Just had half a bowl of chicken broth & no pain, no nausea. Winning. Speedy recovery to everyone.

I totally agree with you. I too was sleeved on Monday. I had no real pain. Just uncomfortable from the gas. I kept feeling like a rib was poking into my lung.

I am self pay. I was supposed to be there overnight. But since the surgery was at a surgical center and not a full scale hospital they keep special overnight staff for these procedures and were unable to staff it for me. So my surgeon consented to send me home. I'm sitting in the passenger seat hugging a pillow. Wish me luck on the 2 flights of stairs I have to climb.

I stayed overnight, but to be honest, the bed was so uncomfortable and I keep being disturbed by the other patient in my room. I slept at home last night and got a great nights sleep. Wishing you a speedy recovery @@Boudala

Day 3 and I'm out at the cinema. With my Protein Drink. Day one was tough but it's amazing how quickly you recover. For those of you just done and suffering, hang in there and you'll be feeling better again I promise.

@@southbound I'm struggling with the fluids. Just had some yoghurt and my stomach is doing flip flops from the gas. Going to go out for a walk in a few minutes to help with it. Not much pain at all though.

@facebro the gas is no joke! I feel like a crazy person! But I get up and walk a little lay back down. Ready to feel 80% instead of 50%! In due time tho!
