Just got home. Spent three nights at hospital.

Gotta tell ya, it sucks. No sugar coating.

Whoever it was who told me to get a suppression sleeve for my stomach thank you. It's the biggest help.

Congratulations sir. On the real. Are you happy about it or regrets? Couldn't understand your post

What is a suppression sleeve. I have surgery on the 21st of August

It helps support your stomach. It feels like your guts are falling out because you lose a little strength in your stomach wall...this helps tremendously.

Sure, I'm happy the most painful part is over, no regrets, I knew what I was getting into, it just sucks for about two days.

And I'm sure I'

ll be happier and happier as I heal and the pain goes away and the weight drops.

Just saying, it's no walk in the park. Or no picnic.

Basically it's no picnic in the park that you walked to.

It's kinda like, someone knocked your ass out, stabbed you six times in the gut and you woke up in the hospital unable to eat anything or sleep at all.

wow you really keep it real. I haven't got a date yet. But now I'm wondering do I want one.

that painful huh. OK here I go again. Talking to Self ..self stand strong you can do it. Hope you feel better Mr. Surgery before me.

Did you have complications? Why were you in the hospital 3 days? Or is that standard policy where you have surgery. I spent about 26 hours at the hospital.

If you leave AMA isn't that technically not being discharged? Why'd you walk out? Hope you're ok

It isn't that painful for everyone we all have different tolerances for pain. I didn't feel that bad at all. I never took a pain pill once I left the hospital. My worst pain was gas and a little nausea the first day.

I don't want you to get super scared and back out.

I had virtually no pain. For real. Don't freak out!

I was ok too. I had mild discomfort but I didn't feel like my guts were coming out. It was never that bad and by day 2 at home I was off pain meds.
