had my surgery on sept 1st (yep 4 days ago)... now awaiting a date for my gf Ericka Monae (who's also a member of the site). Cant wait to begin this healthy journey together.

..and I must say I'm doing pretty well. Surgery was Thursday morning at a facility in Glendale (however my surgeon is based out of cedar-sinai) the hours right after surgery and up until yesterday were very painful. Nothing the pain meds couldnt control though. I havent vomited once which I think is pretty good... it has however been a struggle to get my needed liquids in ... i just get so full quickly. Today I feel really well and almost no pain (just the uncomfort of my drain which will be removed Tuesday). I'll be lucky to get half a bottle of my isopure in today..

Thanks for the encouragement

Your surgery is 2 days away. Good luck!

Hi all... I'm about 24hrs post sleeved. Everything went well. When I first woke up however I had major pains n which point I was given more meds and fell back asleep. I'm up walking on my own (baby steps). The pain is still here but nothing too intolerable. I was able to get my water down no problem. I do notice that everytime after I drink I feel as if I have to burp. Which makes an uncomfy feeling in my stomach that goes away almost as quickly as it came. Other than that I'm doing fine

Hello fellow AA sleevers! My surgery is set for 7 hrs from now (6am pst). I'm not exactly nervous yet, moreso excited... I've awaited this day for so long and have had an interesting journey to get here... My gf Eri Monae (who recently joined the site ) will be on her way to getting this surgery as well and I can't wait to start our healthy living/eating together. Good luck to the rest of you and see you all on the losers bench
