EriMonae 17 Posted November 11, 2011 Hi everyone I'm still at the hospital was told I'll be released tomorrow. I hate pain and I'd say this is probably the hardest prt of this journey. However the surgery went smooth. They said I am doing well. For any of you whom may follow my other content I lost the 5 lbs as needed prior to yesterday I was 236.2 when I checked in Look forward to meet size 8 and maybe even 6 if they want to be friends 1 Tenna38 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveStalker 2 Posted November 11, 2011 Welcome new sleeve sister. Take it easy and rest. Walking with help with the gas pain. The more you walk the faster they will let you out of the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FaithfulIntercessor99 1 Posted November 11, 2011 I had my surgery the 31st. The pain really has been manageable and today is my 5th day without pain meds. Take your pain meds a half hour before walking to minimize the discomfort of beingup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
