I was really pleased the my Dr had scheduled me as his 1st surgery of the day...well the OR changed the schedule...then tried to blame it on the Dr's office...talk about drama!!! man was my hubby fit to be tied!!! But....I'm banded now left the hopsital around 3pm...bladder works GREAT out walking with the fur babies, and really NO gas pain to complain of....I hope you are feeling as good as am!!!

I am home now too! I had surgery at 8:15 and was home by 12:00 today! I feel great!! I have no gas pain, but a little incession pain and soar throat. Other than that, I am able to swallow fine and pee like crazy! Thanks for the kind thoughts, and I am very glad we all have each other to go through this!

Stareeide4u- Congratulations. Never thought about the fact that I'm a true bandser now. I was lucky and most of my gas stayed in the stomach area, but had lots of pain due to scar tissue from my previous surgeries. Now on day 5 my port area is the only one that really is sensitive. I ordered Unjury online, plus I found some Atkins on sale. Plus it was mocha cappachino which I love. There's so many, and it seems like most people get bored after a while and change brands. Again, Congrats and I hope everything goes great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
