my sleeve surgery 9/19/13



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 9/19/13 all went well. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. I was insanely sore at first especially in my neck and the one side of my abdomen was really sore. I am 3 days out now and can finally stand up straight lol. I had a pretty good experience with it all. And my Dr... he was awesome!!! Dr Felts in Las Cruces NM I would recommend him to anyone!!!!

I also was sleeved 9/19. I am starting to feel much better. Keep moving and try to get the gas out. That seems to be the hardest part. Hang in there!!

Glad your both feeling better.. Now follow surgeons orders and you'll be fine. Stick with the posts and follow this site to answer questions and get encouragement. Best advice I can give you.. is don't push the sleeve.. Its new and needs time to heal. follow the eating plan.. don't move forward with the next stages until your cleared. Good Luck and stay strong.

Hey guys. I was sleeved on 9/19 as well! All good so far. Not too sore. Was able to walk almost a mile this evening. Didn't want to over do though with not much Protein on board since I'm still on Clear Liquids. So far so good, good luck to everyone!

Hey I was sleeved on 19th sept in uk.

Came home After 2nights and felt ok.. Just slightly sore. Yesterday was a bad day. I had terrible terrible back pain. Unsure if it's because of the gas or because I been lying down alot.

This morning back a bit better but I have no energy in my arms or legs to move. Is this normal?

I was definitely weaker yesterday. Couldn't walk quite as far. I am starting full liquids today so I'll be able to get more Protein in. Looking forward to that to build up some strength. Other than that everything is going well. I go see my surgeon on Friday and get my staples removed.

Staples come out Friday and get to start non clear liquids tomorrow. Life is looking up. So far have lost 16 pounds in last two weeks.

      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.
