Hi everyone, I was sleeved December 20th and have had unbelievable results. I'm doing things with my life i thought were no longer possible for me. i am not complaining by any means, just need some help with this stool problem. I think because of all the Vitamin intake my stools are rock solid and it hurts to go to the bathroom. i've tried stool softener, Fiber supplements, but to no avail. does anyone have a suggestion i now have hemorrhoids and it really hurts and sometimes bleeds when i go to the bathroom. Thanks

No regrets. whenever I get a little negative I open my drawer and look at my old diabetic meds. I was sleeved Dec. 20th and between liquid diet pre-op and post-op 2 weeks now have lost a total of about 32 lbs. I have lost 40 since I started seminar in an incredibly short period of time. Most importantly since post-op my diabetes is gone,complete remission that would have never happened without sleeve. i have more energy than i have had in years and i feel great. Sure, not every meal is perfect, there are still some challenges between head hunger and physical hunger, but I'll take those compared to what life was like with no restrictions. My quality of life has improved tenfold since getting sleeved.

I am thirteen days post-op. Sleeved Dec. 20th, off Lantus-type 2 diabetes completely gone. my blood sugars have been normal since Dec. 13th-(one week pre-op on liquid diet). hope this helps, the sleeve works miracles with diabetes.

I feel awesome! The liquid diet gives you the strength of 10 men-LOL. Weight is still coming off pretty regular although I feel soft and flabby, would like to work in some exercise soon. I stopped taking pain meds afert 5 days, I walked a lot at the hospital and believe that really helped my recovery. I go to the doc tomorrow to find out what the deal is on the exercise-I'll post answers here.

Same thing happened to me. I had to be there at the exact same time too. I really didn't sleep. The good news is you'll have plenty of time to rest afterwards. think happy thoughts as you go under-I'm sure everything will be great-Check in with us when you are newly szleeved. Best of luck

I am seven days out and was wondering when exercise cn start working into the plan both cardio and strength training. If anyone can share any information on this, I would appreciate it. Happy Holidays

Hey you two, First off congratulations... Next, don't panic have a positive attitude and do whatever they tell you to do. I am six days post-op (sleeved Dec. 20th) I was walking around the first night and continued to walk as much as I could-it helped me go to the bathroom and it cleared gas. I was religious about doing my breathing exercises with my volometer (hospital will give you one). It cleared all the Fluid in my lungs and also brought down the chances of having infections etc. I have been off pain meds since waking up day five but have only been taking about half of what i was supposed to right after i was released. My type II diabetes is gone-I stopped checking blood two days ago-it's pretty much resolved. I have been eating very slowly, so I don't feel a lot of pain or discomfort from being too full. I am not hungry which is a miracle, but I am totally sick of liquids-can't wait to at least move into mushies. I feel great don't have any other complaints and know the weight is pouring off me right now-it's incredible. I feel the hope of having freedom from limitations. It's going to be great for you to-please check in after surgery.

Hi Everybody, Just a quick check in. I was sleeved last Monday morning, Dec. 20th by Dr. Michael Schwartz-here in Saint Paul Minnesota. Everything went great, only problem I had was I couldn't void my bladder because the Anesthesia over relaxed everything. Ironically the catheter was the most painful thing I experienced throughout this whole journey. I've been up walking around no problem, The best part-I don't feel hunger at all right now. Thanlks for all the support-just waiting to get discharged and go home.
