I'm new to this site/group, but I had my surgery on Feb 6thI’m new here as well! Had my sleeve surgery on Feb 7th! How have you been handling everything post-op?

HEY ALL! New here! ? Just had my sleeve surgery on Feb 7th! Day 5 post-op and feel almost entirely normal…minus the lovely incision areas and a hint of soreness if I use my abdominal muscles too much. Anyone else make it through surgery and the follow-up days without puking?? Several friends had the sleeve and I was warned that the vomiting would be relentless. I was nauseous the first 2 days, but not enough to vomit. Just curious if I’m the oddball or my friends are! ? Looking forward to meeting some fellow baria-tastic-besties here!!

Congrats! I just had gastric sleeve surgery on 2/8/23. They found a hiatal hernia during surgery and fixed that while in there so recovery has been slower. Anyone else have a hernia repair during their surgery if and when they get it done?


Hi, I’m new to this site but thought I must reply when I saw your entry. I had the sleeve on the 02/11/23 and they found a hiatal hernia too and repaired it! Recovery has also been slow but it’s happening. I’m forcing myself to keep moving even though all I want to do is hug the duvet. How are you doing?

Hope you’re feeling better. My recovery has been slow. It’s been especially hard to drink liquids because of the swelling from the hernia repair. Finally on soups and start purée in a week. How are you doing in liquids?

Has my sleeve on 2/8 and doing okay so far. The first couple of days were the most challenging. My energy level really dips toward the end of the day. Very light walking only. Has anyone started exercising yet? I'm pretty apprehensive about getting started.
