Heath;

Glad you are reaching out to post. Congrats on being sleeved today...and welcome to the losers bench. Make sure to jump in and put in your comments. We all learn from each other, share with each other and cheer each other onto success.

Remember to sip often, walk often and nap when you can. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Same as you, I read but never posted until after I was sleeved. Posting has been a great help these past 6 weeks helping me with a wide range of after-surgery questions and also helping others by answering questions feels great. Good luck to you as your journey begins. KEEP POSTING!

Good luck to you! .my date is Nov 7th. Please update your journey as you know..if makes it easier to know what to expect..how long was your surgery?

My surgery took an hour, it took 12 hours to get out of recovery because of no beds in the hospital. I just got back from the leak test, no leak but I seriously feel lousy know. Heath

Still in the hospital, was able to get a,whopping 15cc in fluids in today. Dr's say I am just really swollen still, I guess the good news is I haven't been hungry since Sunday. I mean nada. So far with pre-op diet until today I am down 28 pounds. I would definitely suggest the gas x strips, hospital solution to gas is walk......whatever!!! I am going to quit rambling hear and go crop dust the nurses station!! Lol Heath
