Did Anyone Not Have Any Issues After Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

[lessofme2010 25]

I am 2 weeks out today and other then vomiting the few several hours in the hosp. which was from the strong pain meds. Once I stopped taking those I have been great.

Able to drink all my Water and get in my protien.

I went back to work at 1 one out. Feeling like I didn't even have anything done at this point.

I was sleeved October 31st and thank the good Lord I had no issues to date with my recovery! Happy Thanksgiving everyone and yes it is great to not overeat this holiday!

I was sleeved on Oct 25th and I have had nausea and vomiting problems. Some days are good, some days aren't. My sleeve doesn't tolerate any meat well. I have had lots of days with excess slime and I vomit. My Vitamins nauseate me.....I don't get enough Protein as the shakes nauseate me now too. I do get plenty of fluids. Each day is a challenge! I am praying each day gets better!

Try to get in the Proteins Saint. I hear if you don't you could have issues with Hair loss and nail problems.

I have been blessed with no issues throughout my journey. I was able to get my liquids and Protein in from early on, I've never vomited, got the slimes or had any other undesirable issue. I've also eaten a bit more than most sleevers from the very beginning (I could eat a 1/2 cup of food from early on). As evidenced by my weightloss, none of this has slowed me down. Best of luck to all of you!

I am one week out and still walking around with a drain. I had to receive a pint of blood while in the hospital one day after surgery. I'm a bleeder, I guess. However, I have little pain, gas for about 2 days and am sucking down Water and Protein all day. I started Vitamin shots today which have helped my energy. Small obstacles but they do exist. :biggrin:

Physically I had a very easy post-op. Other than having to try a few options to get my reflux under control, I recovered quickly and was back to work within 5 days with only minimal fatigue and little to no pain or discomfort. I chalk up my quick recovery to my focus on walking, walking, walking - and getting in my Protein and fluids right away and consistently.

Emotionally I had a few "woe is me" moments in the first few weeks, but as soon as I was past the full liquids/purees phase, any of those emotional issues resolved quickly.

Good luck to you on your journey!
