So I got sleeved on Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday were the absolute pits. Excruciating gas pain and soreness in the abdomen. I wasn't able to walk much due to pain and lightheadedness. Today I'm feeling much better and I'm able to do my breathing exercises and walking. I can't believe I actually did. Here's to a new future.

I has surgery on 4/1... I'm sick of my stomach hurting, am missing food, and over my one ounce cups. I just feel really depressed for some reason. Anyone else?

Got sleeved on the 4/3, had a few really rough days, still feel weak and light headed, less pain though and glad to be home.

Gas pain was hell. Struggling to drink enough liquids, but seems to be getting a bit easier.

Had a lot of headaches the last few days which didn't help.

Will get through this!

Well the pain is subsiding now that I can get some gas out. I'm off the strong pain meds bc I found it makes it easier to go to bathroom on Tylenol. I'm walking more and sitting up more. Still have gas pains and I'm struggling to keep the liquids in. No vomiting just hard to swallow and stay awake. I took a shower today and I feel much better. Each day gets easier and I'm praying by the end of the week illness able consume all my fluids.

Kelly my stomach is hurting too' date=' I can't consume my 4 ounce in that hour only like 3. I kinda feel depressed too.[/quote']

I got home yesterday and did great with the 4oz in the hospital before getting discharge. Now I am home and is hard to consume 4oz in that one hour. I do about 1oz then 3oz some hours is just so hard. I feel very weak and I started the pure Protein Shake that all I been tryin to consume the broth makes my stomach hurts and finally got some Popsicles and was able to eat one.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
