Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!



Recommended Posts

Howdy everyone! Got sleeved this Monday (6/18). My abdomen is super sore and hurts when I get up, cough, laugh, etc. Monday and Tuesday I was very nauseous but it’s gotten a little better. I’m currently working on sipping my Water. It’s harder than I thought to take small sips instead of big gulps!

Almost 3w post, and went to the gym today for first time! Felt good - just some treadmill jogging and light weights, but no light headedness or any trouble!

So I'm great as long as I'm sitting doing nothing, but moving around makes me dizzy and weak.

First of all, great job!!! Secondly, I definitely feel your pain here. I’m trying to increase my walks, but the shortest walk exhausts me. I’m using vitamin patches for the first time today, so I feel a bit better.

Hi everyone, I have been sleeved and I truly can’t believe it! Recovery isn’t all that bad, just mostly nausea and a little pain with the incisions. Other then that, I’m so excited to start this journey!

Mine was about 3-4 days after surgery. It does get better. Just walk as much as you can!! I know everyone says that but it does work!!

The gas is killing me. I’m trying to drink Water, but then immediate gas. I walk around and burp a bunch then try to drink some more.

June 18th for me! My recovery has been very easy so far, my surgeon installed 2 On-Q pain pumps that were just removed today.

I am STRUGGLING with getting my fluids and Protein in, hoping it gets easier as the swelling goes down. I do have some abdominal distension still from the gas used in the surgery, but nothing terribly severe.

June 13th! Icky as all the I-just-had-major-surgery stuff is, at least I don't have the anxiety of waiting and the frustration of the pre-op diet anymore. Big non-offensive hugs to those still in queue.

@wittymommy.. I am finishing up day 4 pre op. First three days had bad Migraines. Withdrawal from sugar and caffeine. Was super hungry and starting re thinking the whole thing and whether I could do it. Woke up on 4th day and no Migraine and feeling strong and pumped. If it is tough at the beginning, just know it is getting easier.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
