Any Early Jan Sleevers?

[gamecockfan864 6]

I had mine two days ago on the 6th. Everything has gone pretty smoothly besides the pain, not from the incisions, but from the gas built up in my stomach. wow was not expecting so much pain from that, reached all the way to my chest and even my shoulders got really sore. That and the "power is off" type behavior where instead of trying to turn on a lamp and then realizing the powers out i think of something really good to eat and quickly remember I can't have it which bums me out from time to time.

Wondering how other peoples surgeries have been going?

Are you still in the hospital? I'm having my surgery done Monday morning. Super nervous....any tips?

Had my surgey on the 6th. The gas is gone. I took gas x strips. Except for a little soreness I'm almost back to normal

yeah a few tips walk as much as possible and get GasX, other than that its not too bad and personally i haven't had any problems.

the 6th too? nice, I'm still sore from the bigger incision. I've lost 17 lbs since surgery so I'm really excited about that. I'm looking forward to being able to go to the gym and try to help speed up the weight loss

Congrats!

I had the sleeve surgery on the 14th and unfortunately I have been doing kinda crappy. It turned out that I had a hiatal hernia, so at the end of my esophagus has been even tighter. This has meant that I have had a hard time getting anything down. And I definitely agree, the gas was the worst part (I really underestimated how much it could actually hurt, OUCH)!!!

I can finally get liquids down now and things are slowly getting better. Does anyone have cravings for food?? Cause I will see a food commercial or smell something and I really want to eat it, yet at the same time I don't want to (if that makes any sense lol?). I'm still having a crappy time with gas being in my back but I will be trying those Gas X strips asap!

Since some people are further along in their recovery (I'm only 9 days) does anyone have any uplifting news that it gets better further along the recovery road?
