Sleeved yesterday

And I am the happiest gal I feel for having it done. I am drinking as much as I can but not up to 64oz yet. I feel like clicking my heels....

It'll get better I'm 7 days out. I'm still struggling with getting my Water down still. I just keep a bottle with me everywhere I go. I got really dry two days ago and it wasn't nice. It was like I had a difficulty talking. Now I can't get totally comfortable sitting. It helped to read the text about the heating pad.

Welcome to the journey!

I got mine Tuesday and I didn't expect this much pain, my weight loss center said most people don't need the pain med after they go home. I think they are nuts, I'm in a ton of pain.

Hi I'm 8 days post op from southeastern MA I've had a gas free experience and I stayed two and 1/2 days in hospital. I too used pain meds when needed 2 days after returning home and used the heating pad.....best thing eva..... My doctor DID NOT do a leak test....I have heard about them on this site and after surgery I asked him how it looked and he said he thought they were "too invasive" after a traumatic procedure....so I've been praying since I don't spring a leak....Geesh

My surgeon didn't do a leak test either. Only during surgery. He said if a leak is going to happen, it's going to happen. I'm glad I didn't have to do a swallow test to be honest.

I was sleeved on 2/24/14, the first week was really tough, the second week was a little better. It is my 3rd week and I feel fantastic, dropped a little over 30lbs ????
