Go me! I was in at hospital at 730 and operated on at 8;15. In a cuple of hours i was up and readig. Walking around to get rid of some wind. No pain from the operation. just my bak pain as i was not allowed mypils pre surgery. that was taken care of mmediately. M wonderful nurse tina gave ma a swig of oromorph and I was great. Drinking all afternoon.

I ws ready to leave by 3:30 with full insstructions to keep me going till my fill i 6 weeks.

Today, I just feel a but gassy. no diferent from any other laporascopic investigation. I have 3 tiny hasf inch scars and one about an ince. doubt they will even look like scars. I use dermatix on my scars and they usually all but dieappear. arhica is good for bruising.

Hi Debbles,

I was banded July 10th. I'm doing great also. I've walked 1/4 mile last yesterday evening. The only promblem I'm having right now is gas. My stomach is so bloated and it feels full of gas. I'm hoping if I keep walking alot it will finally pass. I'm glad to hear you are doing so well.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
