I was exactly one week ahead of you (Dr. Barnes at Forest Park). Did you go to Forest Park? Excellent place. You will be so surprised how well you feel in a week. I still have some soreness around the left large incision (more tender and swollen) but I went back to work full time yesterday and did very well. Keep walking! take care of yourself!

SleeveStalker 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Hey Joe, I was just wondering a few things...Are you cold? I have been quite chilly. Do you still have your staples? I am supposed to get them taken out on Tuesday . Not having any pain today, but my stomach is rolling quite a bit. I am thinking that is my tummy emptying. Keep me posted and let me know how you are doing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derp 3 Posted March 12, 2011 hi joes, I just added you as a friend so I can watch what you're up to! I was sleeved Monday 3/7 by Dr. Kim too. I ended up staying an extra day in the hospital, i think because of a reaction to the anesthesia - I wasn't able to get anything down until wednesday morning, so they kept me in the hospital on an IV. It's slow going at home, but it's getting a little easier every day, so i'm hopeful. I'm looking forward to following your progress, since we're sleeve buddies. <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
