Good luck to you! I was sleeved on August 31. I was so worried it was gonna be so painful, but I honestly never had any pain just a little bit of discomfort.

I was done on 8/30. I was in a lot less discomfort than expected. The worse is the gas pain. Mine lasted over a week. I never had any issues and can't wait to see some results. Good luck! Can't wait to share this journey with everyone!

Congrats on having a successful surgery!! Did you take anything for the gas pain?

What Vitamins did you all use post-op, that you were able to keep down and didn't make you sick?

I tried gasx strips, only mild relief. I walked A LOT. as far as the Vitamins, I use the Bariatric Advantage. The chewables. They aren't great so I just chew fast and then rinse down with some Water. They have never bothered me juat don't taste great. Good luck!
