I was sleeved 05/06 and the first four days were pretty rough for me. I even told someone I wish I hadn't done this to myself. But, now two weeks out, things are better and I feel better about my decision to have the surgery. I also felt a lot better just being home and in my own space! You'll pull through this, hang in there - we'll do it together!

I was sleeved March 6th and the first 2 weeks were the worst. As far as pain, the first few days were the worst, and i think i stopped taking pain meds altogether the end of the first week. I took them regularly the first 2 or 3 days, then, it was mostly at night, because laying down hurt to much, and i wasn't getting good rest sleeping sitting up on the couch. I didn't have much in the way of gas pain fortunately. I mostly felt tired and just wanted to sleep. After the first week i felt a lot better, but the second week was hard with the liquid diet, and head hunger and trying to get in all the Water and Protein etc. But after those first 2 weeks it started to get easier. Now I am 2 months out and doing great! I have no problems getting in my water or protein, i can eat most foods with no issue and i feel better than i have in years! Hang in there, it gets a LOT better!!!

I was also sleeved on 5-13 and I came home 5-14. The only problems I have is drinking and maybe I am taking in to much, but it feels like a big gas bubble on the top. It sets there for a sec then fades away. I just drank my first cup of liquids without the bubble. I was sent home with a pain pump and removed it about 30 minutes ago. I did take liquid pain meds to help me sleep tonight, but going to try and get off that as well. Overall not a bad experience just kinda sore on top of stomach.

I had that same gas bubble feeling right in between my breasts--mine sat there for more than a few seconds though...I started taking the PPI (Prevacid) that my dr had prescribed, and thank goodness I rarely have that any more...I do have to be careful that I don't drink too much at one time still; I am on the liquid diet for another few days

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
