I was overnight. It depends on your doc, send them a e-mail or call to find out what your doctor likes.

I had the most pain when I moved around. I only had a tiny bit of gas pain, After I got home and off the IV pain meds, I was in a bit more pain but after three or four days, the pain was considerably lower and almost gone. Everyone is different. I know people who never took their pain meds, I took mine religiously until I stopped feeling the pain just before it was time to take more. Then I waited until I started to feel it again before taking anymore. You will do fine, the first week is hell, but so very worth it! No pain, no gain! LOL

Chances are very slim that you will get a leak if you are fallowing the rules. That in mind, live your life; figure out your new normal; but if something doesn't feel right, call your doctor. He/She will tell you if you should be worried or not.

Woot!

Use My Fitness Pal. First things first, track your food intake for a week or two, you might be surprised how my calories you're actually getting. I thought I was putting in way to many calories just trying to get protein in, but when I tracked it, I found I was getting 400-800 calories a day. The website will tell you how many calories you need to take in for optimal weight loss. It's almost impossible to get that many calories in, but I no longer freak out to much, and I am loosing weight like I'm supposed to.

So I had my Gallbladder out today. Everything went great but I got to say, being sent home right after is really hard. They gave me a big dose of pain meds before I made the trip home, but it was still painful. While I was in pre-op I was by myself for a few hours before my friend was able to arrive. The girl across from me was waiting to have the sleeve and when she noticed I was alone she sent her mom to me. Seriously, sometimes people are awesome. She thought I was having the sleeve today because I had the same surgeon. I told her mom my story and warned her about the first week, but that it was so very worth it. Anyways, she is sleeved now and I am without a gallbladder. That has been my day in a nutshell. :0)

Please, I take my pills whole, and some of my pills are HUGE! You should be just fine.

Congratulations! That's awesome!

I will be having my gallbladder out on the 14th. Thank you everyone for all your concern!

YAY!!

I am using other. Could not stand the flavors of the bariatric vitamins after the surgery.

No, you have to go the main site. Edit your profile, and the option should be there.

Amazing!!! Congrats!

1. I am losing my hair right now. I'm not going bald, my hair is just thinner. It comes out in the mass however, so it's a serious pain more then anything else. 2. I am still losing. But I heard it's possible, but really, really hard to do. 3. I had a stricture in my esophagus. A real pain, both figuratively and literally! I waited it out, now it's almost gone. However, I may have to have my gallbladder removed soon. But I knew that was a distinct possibility going in.
