When I'm full my nose runs. That's my signal. When I go pass that I end up throwing up bc I'm so uncomfortable. I don't ever let that happen! It does get better. I'm one year out already.

Try to throw up

OMG, I have the same thing. I called my dr. He told me that it's pulling on the internal sutures and the muscle. He told me it will get better with time and to take it easy, not to aggravate it. Suggested putting ice in that area too. I thought I was doing so well until last night when I sneezed and felt excruciating pain. It passed but holy mother of God it hurt so much....

I had my surgery on jan. 5, 2014. Got to the hospital at 6:00am for surgery prep. So far so good! Into OR, I was greeted by all. It was a delight to have everyone say that they would take good care of me. Then it was slumber time.... I woke up in the recovery room. Dr. Hahn was there and told me that along with the sleeve he had to perform a hiatal hernia repair and do a liver biopsy...Good job! In my private room. IV for pain and another for liquids were all hooked up. Meet with the nursing staff that would be checking my vitals etc.. For the next two days. The pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although I kept pushing the IV for pain. A total of 5 incisions. The largest one (about 1 inch) on my right side. It hurt the most. I couldn't even feel the others. Dr. Hahn came to see me more than a few times. I kept asking him all the questions I could think of. He answered and explained them all. He was great!!! I did a lot of sleeping! Dr. Hahn and the hospital staff told me that I was doing very well. No vomiting or nausea. Drinking my fluids and meds. Saw Dr. Hahn one last time to make sure that I understood all the instructions and got all my prescriptions to take home for pain. I was ready to go home...I went home at 6:00 pm on jan. 6. I'm home now and in my own bed. More to come at later time....

Me too! Good luck...speedy recovery

Me too! I'm ready...got to be at the hospital at 6am. Surgery at 8am... You will do great...

It took a few months

Jan 5th for me

I was told that the more weight I lose the easier it will be to recuperate and heal after surgery. I have been going to Jazzercise everyday since June and doing the 1200 calorie a day. I have decided on the sleeve because it is permanent....I don't ever want to hear someone call me obese.

My surgery date is Jan. 5th. Having surgery at Kaiser Fremont, CA I meet with Dr. Hahn on Dec. 19 to discuss pre-op and to do some lab work. Highest weight = 203 lbs Current weight = 172 lbs Goal weight = 115 lbs

I have my psyche evaluation tomorrow morning at Fremont Kaiser. Can you please tell me what kind of questions are asked and how long it took??

What did the psychologist ask? How long was your appt?

Did you pass? The medical assistant called me yesterday and told me that I missed 4 out of 17. I will have to do it again...WTF!
