FINALLY!!(I can't believe I'm really here) I was sleeved on 4/6/2011. I just came home from the hospital, right now I just have a bunch of gas :) I want to thank everyone for telling their story, giving advice, and just being supportive. I need a nap, I will follow up soon I have tons of questions.

Congrats to you! I'm only 3 weeks out but found that every couple days it gets easier and easier. My routine when I was first out was sip, walk, nap. Seems pretty easy but I had to really focus on getting everything in. Good luck to you as you continue this journey!:rolleyes:

Congrats. I had mine on March 7th and have been happy with the outcome. Don't do anything too fast, just stick with what the doctors tell you and you'll be well on your way! :)

Congrats! I got my sleeve on the 4th. I've been dealing with the gas pains too and also swelling from all the fluids they gave me through the IV. The doc gave me a med to help with it and also walking helps a lot. I'm still sore but was happy I could start eating Jello and yogurt today, lol. I wish you the best!

      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.
