Hello! I had the sleeve done on July 2nd. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days. The worst pain I had was the gas eight after surgery. I pretty much just had to burp it out...gross. I was nauseous at times but they gave me plenty of meds to counter that.

Since I'm home I am walking around about 30 minutes daily throughout the day and feeling much better. I just have headaches ( not sure if related) and still have that gassy feeling so they prescribed me some anti-acid medicine for that. It's been working okay. My insides feel like I did a bunch of situps but as the days go on the pain lessens. 4/5 incisions I can hardly tell they are there. The largest incision stings a bit.

Getting better each day, so far down 20lbs :)

I had my sleeve on June 23rd. A few days ago I weighed in at 235.7, but today I was 240. Is this normal? I have been drinking 2 Protein Shakes and my three 4 oz meals. I am even getting my liquids down. Yesterday was two weeks! Advice anyone?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
