sunnyd 32 Posted April 9, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jewelnkidz 0 Posted April 9, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RVAGirl 2 Posted April 9, 2011 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!
