lillingtonnc 6 Posted September 20, 2013 surgery is done as of Tuesday. three days out.i have been off pain meds since first night.the only time it hurts is when I get up and down or sneeze or cough. along this line I had my husband buy me an old lady toilet seat that raises up the seat five or six inches after it took me five minutes to get up. keep in mind if you have a low toilet. my surgery was at woamck army hospital and the staff there rocks. hernia repair, sleeve and my liver had adhesions that took a little more time. dr perkins is the best. I am just really tired and sleepy.no gas pain so far, don't know if comes later. I feel great considering. 3 pjackson0523, Tink22-sleeve and TvlGrl712 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted September 20, 2013 Congrats on your big step! First, it's gonna get a whole lot better, just probably not this week but next week and every week after. Keep walking and sipping. If gas isn't an issue by now, it may not be. I was lucky in that respect. One thing I will say is, for me, surgery and recovery was so easy that it threw me for a loop when I started walking and getting back to normal. I felt so good but then it would just hit me and I would be so wiped out! Listen to your body and rest when you need to. Follow your surgeon's orders and you will be great! I am over 6 months out now and feel like a million and 10 bucks! Not to mention now slipping into a size 10 jeans, not tight either. Best wishes to you, you will love your sleeve! 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
