Any March 2018 Sleevers?

I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together. :)

I’m with you both, had surgery on 3/27. Discharged last night, still have some pain and gas. They removed band and did sleeve, it’s crazy how trying to drink the smallest amount of water is difficult.

Today is much better pain wise thank the lord! Still very sore and still a little gassy. I see a light now!


Some had a coconut flour and protein cookie recipe posted here last week. How do I find it. Thanks

Had my surgery on Wednesday 3/28, today's Friday. One night stay in hospital and all went reasonably well. Like most, I certainly didn't get any good sleep that first night and I battled a couple of waves of nausea and ohh the pain from the gas. I had trouble differentiating if my pain was from gas or from actual surgery but I guess it was some of both. I didn't really start letting any gas release until about 30 hrs after surgery and then only a little. More gas being released today but it hasn't been as much as I was expecting? But I am sure I have more to go.

Liquids have been going down on schedule.

I did end up sleeping in a recliner last night as lying down flat in bed just wasn't comfortable. Perhaps when all the gas passes that will improve. I did get about 5.5 hours sleep and am getting ready to try and take a nap.

I hope all my fellow March 2018 sleevers are recovering well. Take Care.
