Sleeved with no major pain
denra replied to QueenOfTheTamazons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. Definately all normal!! Feels like a stopper in chest but will eventually subside ... Try Popsicles.. Was a lifesaver for me...it's helped me so much on Fluid intake.. Dr told me it was more important to concentrate on fluids first two weeks. Do what u feel your body can take..... U will do fantastic... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Sleeved with no major pain
denra replied to QueenOfTheTamazons's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel blessed to.. Surgery 9/29 ... 5 small incisions... Walking one hour after surgery.. Removed morphine drip at nite and never have taken any pain meds... Now I'm glad to hear how other patients are same way... If it weren't for the 3 daily shots I have to take to remind me .... Then I feel I never had surgery..but I'm sure this can change too.. !!!

When will I feel better or even remotely better?
denra replied to Boudala's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had my sleeve on the 28th but wasn't released for five days because of a slight kidney blood count.... So coming home same day I'm sure was so hard... I know how hard it must be to be away from your baby... but... Things are going to get better really soon.. Important to drink and move as much as you can.. That gets everything moving along to help healing process..please call dr about drinking broth etc.. Also should be able todo sugar free Popsicles/fudgicles... Be patient it will be so worth it in the future and yes... so much healthier and happy!! Smile!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Yes I had the shots from day of surgery until tomorrow!!! Thank god.... They teach u how to give them in hospital... Not a pleasant thing 3 times a day but very important to follow through for blood clot prevention and health!!! It will go by quick... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you .... I understand everything just trying to put into practice a new healthy lifestyle which I know takes time... Just a rollercoaster for me right now.. Been injecting myself 3 times a day with heparin for past 12 days. Tired and emotional but I feel great... Have to adjust my emotions.... I know it will get better... It's truly a new journey for me!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
