Seela 1,187 Posted October 24, 2013 Prayers to everyone getting sleeved in October. I was sleeved in Monday the 21st. I lost 10 lgs pre pop and have actually gained 2lbs since surgery. That sucks but I'm trying not to get discouraged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seela 1,187 Posted October 24, 2013 Sip sip sip all day long and walking 5-10 min every couple hours. I feel so full I don't know how I could possibly drink any more than I am 1 maj0rl0ser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sucks but I'm trying not to get discouraged Don't get discouraged about the gain. My doctor said that you can actually gain up to 10lbs post op because of all of the fluids from your IV's. It will be gone in no time :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seela 1,187 Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks. I hope so. It wiuld be embarrasing to go back to work heavier than when I left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be gone in no time :-) No kidding. They pumped four bags of fluids plus other meds in me while I was there. I felt like a Water bag. They wanted to see me pee before they would discharge me. If I didn't pee that evening after surgery they threatened to put the catheter back in. Needless to say I forced it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeveforkayla 24 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm so glad! You were very brave getting it done together :-) Yes it was quite the experience. Seeing her so sick brought me down a lot but when I woke this morning and saw her sleeping in her bed I was happy. It was such a drastic change over night even. I have to admit at one point she looked so bad and I'm not religious but I closed my eyes and prayed. 1 pjackson0523 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
