December sleeves 2016

[sunsetsue 67]

I was sleeved on the 1st so one week in. Surgery at 9am and out the door by 1pm! Incision pain is causing me to sleep on my back so bad sleep and back pain. Plus all the uncomfortable little aches and pains, dealing with stomach gas, exhaustion, tired of sipping...but I could not be happier!

Are you taking pain meds? Feel better soon

Just liquid Tylenol at night. I'm mostly just being a baby because my recovery, so far, has been pretty uneventful. I was able to sleep on my side last night!!!

I'm dreading not sleeping on my stomach but you gotta do what you gotta do hope you recover quickly keep me posted if you can I'm getting mine on Monday

Yep, I'm a stomach sleeper too. Good luck with surgery on Monday! I have to say, I had a lot of fear about the procedure and first few days of recovery, but it really has been relatively easy. Exciting!

Thank you. I'm very scared and nervous. The time is just flying by ill be done with the surgery before I know it

Hi family.. I was sleeved on 12/5. I had surgery at about 9:45am and went to recovery for an hour and a half then to my room. Gas pain was a killer but I walked and walked as much as I could. My incisions are very sore. I have 6. Lap sites with detmabobd glue. The biggest one on my left side underneath my breast hurts the most so I'm assuming that's the one they pulled the stomach out of. However, I feel it is worth it and I will know even more so that it's worth it in 3-4 months when I can see my body actually changing. Good luck to all and let's stay positive and post our updates so that we can be encouraging to others.

Hello,

Hope your incisions heal quick. Did you take any gas x strips for the gas?

Just weighed myself. I'm 10.5 lbs down in a week!

My doctor said during surgery they gave me a anesthetic that would last a couple of days so I felt pretty pain free until that second day. I wish he had prepared me a little more for how painful that main incision was going to be.

That's awesome more successes to you! Maybe your dr can prescribe you something else for the pain

@81KELLOGRAM..... my main incision is pretty sore as well. I'm just taking it day by day. I have lost 7 lbs in four days. Looking forward to 1 month follow up to see all of our progress.

I got mine on the 6th and was discharged from the hospital on the 7th

I've felt a little nauseous but not terrible I think what's the worst for me is overall pain in my tummy area when getting up.

I was sleeved on 12/1. I left the hospital on 12/3 sore but with very little pain. Today I feel great! Last night I was finally able to sleep on my side, lol. As of today (8 days in) I've lost 16 pounds!! So far, this is looking like the best decision I've ever made....
