Hey all! There are sooo many topics out there and the one I see for August was for last year! Let’s discuss, the good and the bad! I am having my surgery in August. I have one more supervised visit and the off the insurance I go!

Thanks! I will still be monitoring this blog to see how all of you are doing!

I had mine on August 13th. Recovery is going well after 11 days except for: 1) Starting to feel pretty tired and 2) My eyesight got drastically worse right after surgery. I can’t read without reading glasses. 

Down 16 lbs. 

Hope everyone’s doing well.  

@viking0424 I had my sleeve done 8.8.18 at off and they were great! Good luck!

I had mine yesterday and NO ONE mentioned how painful it would be after. I mean, it’s just starting to subside, but man, that gas pain is not a joke.

I had mine yesterday and same. It is painful top that with queasiness and it’s quite the adventure.

3 days out. Off all pain meds. Feeling great.

Congratulations I hope I do as well 3 days out!?

I had my sleeve done on August 21. I’m 5 days post op. Has anyone experienced a terrible pain when liquid is swallowed? I get a sharp pain between my breasts almost like a huge gas bubble forms from the small amount of liquid I swallowed.

3 weeks out and everything I try give me gas. And I don’t know how to burp on command. Is it normal to feel gas when eating something?

usually swallowed gas, smaller bites, slow down, walk or move afterwards, relax. snd don't stress, last resort something,gently,warm like hot water bottle or heating pan.

I had my surgery Friday Aug 24th. I would say the pain was much worse then when I had the lap band.. He removed my band and 9 years of scarring and a hiatal hernia repair. The worst issue is when breathing in. It hurts. I have been using my incentive spirometer every hour and walking around. That is my only complaint.

Nice, congrats! My surgery was 8/17 and I'm officially down 14 1/2 lbs from Surgery Day (I didn't weigh myself right after surgery though) I didn't really start to see a loss until the last maybe 2-3 days or so, but I'm glad it's going down now

I'm 6 days out (8/20) and I experience that pain when I drink cool liquids. When it happens, I start walking right away and try to form a burp, seems to help.
So far warm liquids is the only thing truly tolerable.

I’m 3 days post op and I sip liquid goes down, then a pain and I can hear and feel bubbles go up.

I get a pain when I am eating yogurt. It’s the oikos strawberry yogurt. I was eating a spoonful , so decided to take tiny little bites and it didn’t hurt. I tend to forget I should be going really slow. I had surgery on the 21 of August. I was 294 that day. Today I’m 285. Not even a week yet and I’m seeing some loss. I don’t see a difference, but it’s good to see scale go down.
