  1. Hi. I was sleeved yesterday and I am now home resting. I had a bit of a time waking up from anesthesia. No vomiting, but I had nausea. How are other new sleevers doing? I can't believe it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. Hi. I am getting the gastric sleeve done soon, the beginning of September. I need to meet some people who already have the sleeve or who are getting surgery soon. Is there a September group? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  3. Hey- I was sleeved in the 13th and other than being tired and sore, im a-okay!! I was very happy to have a premier shake on day 5. It felt like a meal! I can't wait to be healed. I def need a week of rest and couple weeks of taking it easy. But in good! Hi.. I had mine yesterday too. Arrival to home in 20hrs. All going very well. All liquids stayed down. No sickness and pain ok. I'm planning for the pain over the next few days as the body adjusts from the surgery. But the various drugs will help with that My liquids are lined up for variety..... Milk ( some hot as latte) Water Lemon tea Jasmine tea Milk shakes Soup Bovril All in all we have done a great thing. I Continue to be excited about the future.

      Get up and start walking just as soon as you can post-op. I was walking the halls as soon as I could get the nurses to agree. Don't try to be tough and not take your pain meds. There's no award for not using them :) Make sure you've got anti-nausea meds to take when you go home...they'll probably use IV anti-emetics while you're admitted, but you need something at home, too. Relax and get ready for this awesome tool to help you change your life :) Good luck and let us know how it goes!

  17. Hi- I am having the sleeve done on Sept. 13th. I have been thinking alot about my relationship with food and for the fisrt time, I am admitting that I have a problem with food. I am so scared that I am going to be hungry. What did you do to help your relationship with food and eating? How do you calm your mind down when the head games start? I feel like the mental part of this is going to be the hardest part to overcome. For all of you who have just started your journey and for those that have been traveling a while, what advice do you have? Thanks for any responses.
