I was wondering how you all felt at various stages of your recovery.

At one week....one month etc..... what were you able to do physically....?

Hiya

I just had my 32 sleeve Friday afternoon, & can honestly say it was a non event as far as pain or problems i was up the same evening & walking & sipping Water well into the night.

I have not had to take any painkillers & swallowing has not been a problem so far.

I did have a few burps of gas but that appears to have gone, they let me out of hospital today at lunchtime which felt good to get home.

The main thing is i dont feel hungry at all so will have to be carefull to get somegoodness in.

anyhow you are not far away with your surgery so very best of luck I hope everything goes nice & smooth for you.

best wishes

Don..

Thanks Don. We have an evening out planned (well sort of but I can get out of it) a week after my surgery... so not sure if I'll be able to sit for say 3 hours to enjoy it....

I've also managed to put off having any house guests (the draw of living in Spain with the warm weather and a pool usually brings them over in the summer!!) until 3 weeks out, and then its my best friend who knows about the surgery.

I'm glad you're recovering well - enjoy being at home... I know I hate being in hospital so will look forward to returning home next weekend after the event!

Good luck with your recovery

Kathy

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
