march3rdsleeve replied to Stacey78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol good luck if you go home same day.you can't be that tough.has anyone told you it's a major surgery. I stayed 2nights and 3days and wish it was longer .I had to go back in 2 days later to get rehydrated it's no joke. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App -

Tell me about the week after your surgery....
march3rdsleeve replied to breezy25's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi,OK ill give you some info.right out of surgery I was drugged up on morphine. Thirsty as hell couldn't drink anything for 6 hrs then I got ice cubes lol,once I finally realized what was going on it felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. I hit the morphine button every 10 min to take care of the pain.I haven't puked yet and I'm out three weeks.I felt so good when they discharged me that I could have skipped to my car.then 2hrs after I got home I crashed hard.I got my first migraine headache of my life couldn't drink anything got dehydrated and had to get admitted back into hospital. Long story short the couple days of pain is totally worth it.I've slammed hand in a car door before and it hurt twice as bad as the entire sleeve process.

I'm sure it depends on the insurance co.I had bcbs and they looked 4 years back in my history. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Going back to work
march3rdsleeve replied to Angie1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went back after 10 days,Dr said listen to my body if it hurts then stop.I was put on desk duty and found out that the constant up and down getting out of the chair aggravated the big incicion. So I took Friday and today off and going back tomorrow. Goodluck Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App -

Constipation
march3rdsleeve replied to nlo127@live.com's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My Dr told me the number 1 cause of constipation is being dehydrated. I'm having the same problems.I've also take milk of magnesea. It takes time but it works. It caught me in the garage the other day and I had to throw my pants away.lok Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App -

Traverse City Michigan!?
march3rdsleeve replied to Twinkle Toes's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I went with sleeve because my Dr strongly encouraged it I'm only 37 he thought I would recover alot faster so I trusted him.up until today I haven't had a single issue really.I ate too fast and ended up throwing up.I knew it would happen sometime.wasn't that bad though.my bmi was 51 when I started if you haven't yet go to a gym and start getting into the routine of working out.if I could give any mental advice I would slowly start giving things up so you start getting use to not having a few things.
