Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Rachel and I'm 34. I had my sleeve done 12/23. I also had a hernia repair as well. I feel very blessed that I have not had any nausea or any other major side effects. Haven't had a lot of pain at all surprisingly. My main struggles have been gas pains, burping, and a very strong tightening sensation when I swallow. I have been very tired since the surgery and find myself having to take naps during the day. Something I am not used too. But anyway just wanted to introduce myself!

Welcome to the forums, Rachel. Congrats on your WLS and having little to no adverse side effects or issues. Like you, I had no pain and just the 24 hours of nausea post-op while still in the hospital. You're going to be tired for about 5-7 days while your body is healing from major surgery but you'll bounce back in no time. Nice to meet you.

Welcome and Congratulations!

Welcome to the forums! I’m 2 days from surgery, so we’re close in our surgery dates! Congratulations on your surgery!

Welcome and get the baby gas drops they help

Welcome!! I had my sleeve on 12/22!

Welcome. I had a sleeve in 2013 and a revision to Modified DS in 2020. I hope your recover is smooth.

Hi! I'm new too, my surgery was on the 24th of December so we are practically twins. I've been having some gas pains it's getting less and less every day. I usually start to take a walk right as I'm feeling it, and I did start taking chewable gas x sometimes 15 minutes before my medications. (I find I swallow a lot of air when I take meds). I hope you continue to heal well!
