  1. I have 5. I was sleeved on 11/14. I don’t think about them much but I know they’ll fade. I had my gallbladder out at the end of September and can’t see my scars from that anymore unless I really look for them.

    I’m allowed cardio and upper body weights. I’ve been taking it easy on weights and doing 45-50 minutes on a recumbent bike. I missed the gym so much and am so glad to be back!

    I’m two weeks post op today and walking out the door to go to the gym! I’m feeling good! Tired but good! Anyone else back at the gym?

    Surgery Nov 28

    I didn’t have a drain either. Like the PP said- I think it’s surgeon’s preference most of the time.

    I was sleeved 11/14- today was my first day of purées and I was so excited for some whipped potatoes. I fixed two ounces but only ate about 3 bites before I didn’t want anymore. I hope your 2 weeks passes quickly!

    Mine was a week ago today. I wore the same clothes home as I did arriving. I took a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, an iPad and a charger. That’s it. I never turned on the tv in my room but I watched movies on my iPad when I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t feel like I needed anything other than what I took. I was there one night.

    First ever post! I was sleeved on 11/14. The first afternoon immediately after surgery was rough. I always wake up extremely emotional after anesthesia and spent a fair amount of time crying. I did pretty well overnight, was up walking the halls and trying to only push my pain med button if it got intolerable. I was released Wednesday evening around 6 pm. The gas pain and nausea that night were awful. By Thursday morning I was feeling much better. As of now I’m only taking Tylenol as needed and using a heating pad if I’m sitting down. I started the 6 month program in April at 282.8. I was 265.6 when I started the pre-op diet and 255 the morning of surgery. I’m currently 245.6! Excited for puréed food and watching the scale go down!
