Omg, you are doing great. I can only sleep on My side. It hurts sleeping on my back. I have lost 7 lbs in 4 days but dang you are killing it.

I agree that he was trying to control me. But I showed him that I come first for a change in this marriage. I didn't do it 4 years ago because of all the crap he said. But this time I was like no im not gonna miss out on this again because it's like letting me goofy hom n that's not happenings again .

I'm not at all. He isn't happy I went through with it but he has to deal with that not me. I'm happily sleeved and down 7lbs in 4 days. I'm looking forward to working this sleeve until I'm st goal. Thanks for the encouragement.

Well I have a total of 6 lap sites. The biggest scar I have is located on my left side( not directly under my breast that was just to give an idea where sure was) . My upper left quadrant of my abdomen is most sore and I figured that it's most sore due to the stomach is located in the upper left quad of abdomen. So, since I saw that scar was the longest incision and it is the most sore, I assumed that is where they pulled the part of the stomach that was removed from that site. I did not have a drain . So, that's what the incision under my left breast is????. quote name="ambernoel" post="4341250" timestamp="1481316069"] ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1481316042.236648.jpg I have three cuts and my drain I'm not sure what your big cut would be under your left breast Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Pic of my lap sites... 5 on the belly and 1 in my belly button. Can't wait until they heal . But just wanted to show the lap sites.

@81KELLOGRAM..... my main incision is pretty sore as well. I'm just taking it day by day. I have lost 7 lbs in four days. Looking forward to 1 month follow up to see all of our progress.

Yes ma'am I am back in sweet home Alabama. I feel better today just when I drink it's a little uncomfortable but my surgeon said that's expected for a week or two because there is so much swelling in my belly. So I'm grinning and bearing right now

I have been taking gas c and it is getting better just still there somewhat. Hello, Hope your incisions heal quick. Did you take any gas x strips for the gas? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi family.. I was sleeved on 12/5. I had surgery at about 9:45am and went to recovery for an hour and a half then to my room. Gas pain was a killer but I walked and walked as much as I could. My incisions are very sore. I have 6. Lap sites with detmabobd glue. The biggest one on my left side underneath my breast hurts the most so I'm assuming that's the one they pulled the stomach out of. However, I feel it is worth it and I will know even more so that it's worth it in 3-4 months when I can see my body actually changing. Good luck to all and let's stay positive and post our updates so that we can be encouraging to others.

That's awesome congrats... post some pics please

I gotcha????

Thank you @ Chel1. I have been sleeved now and he doesn't say much about it. But that's okay because I get a lot of support from this online forum from great people like yourself. So, as you said , I will def be okay either way. I serve a God who has never left me and I don't see him leaving me now. Take care and thanks again.

Thanks I can't wait. Take care????

I'm in as well. Love a challenge

Hi Rainbow2015......my surgery went really great. So glad to hear you are doing well. I had tremendous gas pain though and I walked as much as I could but it is now going away. My incisions hurt a bit... I have 6 and the one that hurts the most is the bigger one underneath my left breadt. But I'm giving it time to heal. I can't wait to see results in a couple of months. We will be here to motivate each other.

Girl you rock!!! U look fantastic.

You should come down to enjoy the festivities. Where are you currently located?

You look awesome and you are kicking butt. Way to go????????

You look absolutely marvelous. Your swag is on point as well. What a fantastic transformation. You said you did squats and sit-ups... how long after surgery did you start doing both? I really want to do squats , crunches and of course cardio but I forgot to ask my surgeon how long to wait before doing squats. I was just sleeved on mon dec 5 so I'm a new baby sleevie.

Congrats... I was sleeved on dec 5 so I am still in healing phase as well. Congrats on new journey.

Yes ma'am. My doc said at the two week check up I should be down 10-15 lbs. I don't know if I will but that would be great. I had hiccups and thought I needed a new rib, lol. It hurted so badly. But they went away. I'm just so excited for our journey. I live in mobile ala so mardu grad is huge here. I can't wait to see my results by then ... Mardi Gras is in. March this year( Fat Tuesday is) . Ithat will be 3 mos post op so def should see some results at that time I hope . Let's go Dec sleevers. My birthday is Jan 5 and that is my 1 month slleevaversary . Doc said he expects me to lose about 23 lbs by my birthday. I'm gonna try my best. But so happy for you and the fact that we are next door sleeve neighbors ????

Thanks. I am 3 days post op. I am having a little discomfort but it's getting better.

Yayyyy Queen.... so happy for you. Hi did you do with gas discomfort? Walking saved your life ... yayyy we are both in the losers bench.

I made mention to the office manager and she said they will surely have a discussion
