I was also sleeved on the 27th. Down 20lbs since surgery 43lbs since starting the 2 week preop diet. I feel good. If I sit for too long my incisions are sore. I am going to start seeing a therapist that specifically deals with WLS because I have a lot of struggle with head hunger and emotional eating. Hope she has some ideas on how to curb that! My mom noticed I had a waist and that was a pretty awesome feeling and NSV for me!! Good luck to everyone! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Update from today's appointment with the surgeon. Left outside leg hot sensation like i have is NOT blood clot. She said it is due to the fact that they invert u so much during surgery that it puts pressure on vertebrae/tendons in your back that swell and those nerves go to the left side of your leg. (If that makes any sense to anyone) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the 27th. A lot of nausea too they sent me home with a script for it. My incisions don't hurt but my left shoulder and neck do. Makes breathing difficult at times. I feel pretty good overall. Surgery sure makes little differences in your body come to life like did that part hurt before or is that normal? Funny actually! Don't overdo it!

Yes thanks guys! I will keep an eye on it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have the pain in my left shoulder and arm but surgeon told me it was gas. That hurts to breathe there. She said gas in the shoulder was normal and would go away in a week or so. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 5 days postop and every once in a while since surgery my left leg gets a feeling like hot blood flow down it from the knee down. No swelling just something funky since surgery. I walk a ton and it's only my left leg. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have heard that your tastes change after surgery so not a good idea to stock up and not like the taste after??? Is that true? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Haven't had mine yet but they told me take your own pillow. Comfort for hospital and cushion for your stomach for the drive home! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone have any suggestions on a post-opp workout?? I am 2 weeks till surgery and am thinking about staying ahead of the weight loss and sagging skin. Am I even being realistic??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yay!!! Yes i am ready for that! My friend is a personal trainer and is researching light lifting to help counteract the weight loss Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a random person overhear my conversation about getting surgery and only a handful of people know... And she said why would u do that just eat off a salad plate. Really??? Really??? I said... If u haven't spent years duck taping your stomach to look skinny u have no right telling me what to do. Don't let people decide for you. They haven't walked a DAY in your shoes and couldn't probably folloe a day of the diet we face now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
