That's amazing well done. we had our surgery on the same date maybe we could keep in touch and be sleeve buddies

Hi I'm post op day 5 and I. still in pain. my surgery was 4 hrs due to complications. the lady who had hers done on the same day is already back to normal. altho her öp only lasted 1.5 hrs. I guess we all heal differently. But I feel your pain I just want to get back to feeling normal again!!

Day 3 post op... Feeling much better, finally can see some.light at the end of the tunnel. Havent felt hungry at. still on 'free liquids'.I know I expected pain but nothing prepared me for th back and should pain.. this hurt much more than the op (tummy incisions) I didn't have a drain and was walking day 1. Good luck to you all. It's a very tough couple of days but it doesn't get easier. I hope to be going home in the morning.. Can't wait as I cannot sleep in this bed! x x Thanks for this post. I've heard a bunch of people say during their hospital time in post-op, they were in so much pain they were regretting the decision to have surgery but months later they were happy they did it. I always have back and shoulder pain and I don't really know what this surgery would do to the back or shoulders. I thought it would all be abdominal pain. Hopefully they give you some good meds to keep you hurting too badly. Morning! The shoulder pain was due to the air being pumped into you during op.. that went with alot of arm movement exercise eat. the back and side pain was excessive lying on my back. I was in op for 4 hours then another 3.5 in recovery. had complications but all went well over all. Since I put some ibroprofen gel on my back last night I haven't needed any meds for the tummy!! I met a lady who had the surgery 4 years ago (she was visiting the patient next to me) she popped her head in to say don't give up and even tho your having a very bad time it's worth it. seing how good she looked really helped!! I hope to be going home today so I'm feeling positive ????

in soo much pain post op. regretting every decision at the mo ????????????????????

Hi yes that would be great. How comes you are having the bypass??

Is there anyone who is having a sleeve on Friday?? Who love to have a buddy through this major.life change xx

Hi... Can you believe my surgery date is this Friday!!! How are you doing??

Hi Jay! Tiredness is absolutely going to be there. Your body is going through a major event and it's going to be working overtime to heal up after being messed with. Your blood pressure may drop (very common post surgery) and that also makes one tired. As for the headaches... I haven't experienced any. Dehydration can often cause the headaches and as long as you keep sipping (harder than it sounds) then you should be okay with regard to the headaches. I only experienced nausea the day of surgery and 2 days post. That was mostly due to the anesthesia though. Once I got to eat "normal" foods, if I eat too quickly I experience some nausea, but I've learned to slow the heck down and it makes a huge difference. I've had hair loss for years so I don't know if it's increased or stayed the same. Like ShrinkingPeach, I have a ton of hair so I'm not too worried about the loss right now. My experience has been fantastic! I'm really pleased with my results thus far (I was sleeved 5/28). I've hit and come through one stall (there will be more I'm sure). I have zero regrets. sorry I don't know know why I haven't seen your message untill now!! That you for your advice. my surgery is Friday so really trying to organise myself. I have fine hair so I'm really worried about losing it!! How is your journey going??

Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right. My surgery date is set for September 14 in California. I am on a liquid diet at the moment with a small meal in the evening. Headaches are awful!! But from what I've read on this site.. it gets easier!! How are you feeling about your surgery? not long for you either. I can believe mine is in 2 days!!!

wow you look amazing... well done!! x

you look amazing!! well done x
