Sleeved April 1st

[LifeBackNye7 44]

Hello Everyone.. I have been on this page previously under a similar name LifeBackNye.. I couldn't remember my password so I am here again LifeBackNye7.

I remember stalking the forums when I was at the begining stages of this process. I would go back and forth during my journey and happy to say that I was sleeved yesterday!

The first night was very hard for me. a lot of gas pains! Wow never thought I would be able to live through so much pain. My doctor also removed my gallbladder and fixed a hernia so I have had a lot more pain then others may have had. Passed my leak test, very excited about that. Have been up walking around and boy did thst help.

I was sleeved in NJ by Dr. Noyan.. great doctor.

Just very happy to be here. Thanks for listening!

Congratulations! Your on the losing side now. I wish my Dr. had taken my gallbladder. I am looking at surgery again here soon to take my gallbladder. Didn't even know I had gallstones until recently. I had my sleeve done Dec. 6, 2012 so I'm 4 mos post-op.

Congrats! At least they were able to do the other two repairs when they had you open. I just recently had my gallbladder taken out and it was a piece of cake.... No problems, no soreness, and no pain.........Thank goodness for that...

Hey Lisa! Thanks for responding! My PC actually ordered the ultrasound of my gallbladder due to my bp and cholesterol. The results showed I had gallstones. I then callef my surgeon and he said he would remove it during my surgery! I was a bit surprised as I fiqured getting the sleeve would be enough pain to deal with but after looking into somw statistics, it showed that about 20% of patients that have some type of WLS have to also get their gallbladder removed.

I see you are 4 months out! ????How has your recovery been? How many pounds have you lost?

Ms Skinniness hello.. Thanks for responding also ???? I was elated when my surgeon informed me that he also repaired a hernia I had in my chest that I never knew I had. So far Day 2 no regs.. How many months out are u?

Sorry for the Typos! Im going to blame it on all the meds Im on....

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

I am 18 months post op....... Please use the meds as much as you need them....I did when I was in the hospital, I had a morphine drip and pushed that button every time I woke up.... I was kinda loopy taking to my surgeon... you are going to do very well...if you have any questions please feel free to ask.....

I have had a relatively easy recovery. I am at 45 lbs lost. I'm pretty happy with that. That's over 10 lbs a month.
