My sleeve was done on Oct 15th and my incisions are still tender too. Just make sure you wash them with soap (I use the Dial antibacterial body wash already) everyday, dry them good and then doctor them how you were advised. For me I got antiseptic spray and I have to keep the little strips on til they fall off on their own. My drain site I'm supposed to keep covered til it stops oozing so I clean it and cover after my showers. Oh and no actual bath baths for 4 weeks! I know you weren't asking for anything but I just threw my 2 cents in. Hope you feel better soon!

I was sleeved yesterday morning!! So glad to be on the other side now. Problem is I can't sleep consistent so I've been napping.off and on since but that's okay. And my word, so many pokes lol. Took three attempts at the IV and have had three labs taken. It's all worth it j n the end ♡♡

Had mine yesterday too. Cats naps. They don't let you sleep much lol. Sore but not too bad.

Can't wait to be in my own bed tomorrow night, not sleeping at an incline lol. IV comes in a bit so I can shower and put regular clothes on. Leaving here tomorrow afternoon at like 2-230ish. And I'll probably pass out as soon as I get there!

You have to stay another night? Were you told 2 nights in advance?

Here's a question for all the post-op people: Did you have a catheter? I REALLY don't want one!

I didn't have a catheter or my mom either. They said with the procedure being so quick there's really no need for one. Just make sure you potty right before your surgery.

My surgery started around 8, I was in my room around 1, I did not initially have lot of gas pains. I came home today, and so far so good.
