Hello everyone. Today I am post-op gastric sleeve Day 1. I must say I was very afraid about how I would feel, but Im barely hurting at all. I did have some gas pain last night (walking, gas-x strips and simethacone helped)... Barely any nausea at all (

Good luck @@Dee~Dee and praying for a speedy recovery!

Today is the day for me!!!! Prayers needed please..

Thanks @@QueenBx! I was very nervous , but everyone was very professional and kind to me at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. My doctor (Charles Procter, Jr) has an excellent bedside manner and is a second generation gastric surgeon. I think he did a great job. I had umbilical hernia repair and robotic gastric sleeve. Not much pain or nausea, though I was medicated for both in the hospital. My throat was sore from intubation during the procedure, but I got him to prescribe a spray that helped a lot. I was released the next morning after I ate clear liquid Breakfast with no problems.

My stomach actually feels tighter today (post-op day 2), but its beatable. I do have some gas but walking definitely helps with that. The jury is still out on gerd issues.

Now that im home if I could just get these fluids in... but overall everything is going well.

Thanks for the prayers!

What a great idea! I would love to join this group!

I am scheduled for 12/21. Having my preadmission testing tomorrow and starting my liquid diet Monday!

When is your surgery?

People who know think I'm crazy having this done RIGHT before xmas but heck - no time like the present! LOL this is the best time of year with work that I can take time off - besides, I figured the winter is a good time to bundle up and loose weight and when spring/summer rolls around, I'm "ready" ! SUPER excited, can you tell!? :)

      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! 😞
