Surgery went well today. Hurting pretty bad in my chest from gas, like someone is standing in it, but overall not so bad. I've been able to have Jello broth and lots of Water so far. Drugs help!!

Milk of magnesia helped me with gas pain right after surgery! Day 9 for me now & I am using gas x strips.

Hang on in there. I'm three days in and I started walking first day soon after surgery but on the other hand the more you walk the better push through. Walking relieves getting blood clots and helps work the gas out.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
