My husband had sleeve surgery tonight. It finished around 7. He was in so much pain when he got out. It was awful to watch. The nurses assured me he would be feeling better. Ugh! I stayed until 12:30, and I felt guilty leaving him. I'll go back as soon as I wake up in the morning. I don't have a question as much as I just needed a place to write how awful it was. :( I'm sure it will be better tomorrow though. FIngers crossed!

It's always so hard to see our loved ones in pain...we feel so powerless. He will get through this, and every day it gets better. Just your being there is so important.

For me, the day of surgery and the first two days after were pretty awful. After that, I rebounded very quickly. Hopefully this will be the case for your husband.

Best wishes for you both!

Not to worry he will feel better. within minutes of getting out of surgery i vomited up black (old blood) in front of my mother and was begging for pain medication. she looked terrified. within 6 hours of that I was up and going to the washroom and that evening I was walking laps (slowly) around the floor. It improves pretty quickly.

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words. He is feeling a lot better today. It was really scary yesterday. I'm lucky that his mom was able to come up and spend some time with him tonight, so I could come home and relax a bit. He is still in pain, but not at the 10 where he was yesterday. The meds brought him to a 3-4. Whew!

I can't tell you how much you helped me! <3

      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? 🤷‍♀️
