Just had surgery for sleeve today



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I just had the sleeve done today. I'm doing better than I thought I would be. No pain but just slight soreness. Clear liquids and broth and I don't feel hungry.

You will feel some gas...and belching helps and walking is definitely easing this.

If you have not had your surgery yet, believe me when I say it will be all worth it when those pounds start coming off! Just follow the guidelines and walk! It's going to be great!

@@tanya0974, I had my my sleeve done on the 4th also. They ended up having to put me in intensive care because they couldn't bring my pressure up. 67/50. It's better right now. I've walked to nurses desk twice, so I know I'll be here until Friday but it'll be so worth it. Welcome to the welcome to the losers bench

i didn't get hungry for like 2 months after surgery but that\s because i think it was a mental thing, i was eating cause i knew i had to mostly but other than that my mindset on food has changed since and i didn't miss anything that was unhealthy for like 8 months and even now i don't crave anything that bad.

Same here. Some discomfort but able to walk and "eat" a bit. Definitely burping but not too bad. I feel much better than anticipated. Good luck to you going home today. Can't wait to sleep in my own bed. Keep me posted. Toni

I had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday as well. I am in a ton of pain and really uncomfortable. I haven't had liquids since Tuesday night since they have to do a leak test at 830 this morning. Counting down the hours because my throat is so sore and dry and i have a raspy voice. Didn't think the pain would hurt this much

Yes, it hurts! Just remember it's temporary, that's what is kept me sane.

The first 48-72 hours were so miserable. My mouth was so dry. I had constant aching, gnawing, empty feeling in mid abdomen. I was so nauseous as well. I could hardly take in any fluids after the leak test. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because of poor intake. After 72 hours, I felt so much better! I am 9 days post op, and was able to get all 64 oz fluids for the first time yesterday. It definitely gets better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
