I had my surgery 12-17-15. The one thing I wish someone had told me was how much it would hurt to get out of bed, sit up, get in bed, adjust myself or sit on the toilet. The most important advice I can give is bring a pillow or stuffed animal (I had a pillow pet) something you can use to hug at your stomach area when you are getting up and down. That was seriously the greatest thing for the days and weeks after surgery! It puts just enough pressure but not too much! My first day I was so miserable so they brought me that and it was totally different. It helps so so so much! Game Changer!

(I am sure I will offend someone by saying this, but I just can't hold it in. Every time I read the title of this post, I think to myself 'that's what she said.' Giggle.)

And, THAT makes you my new best friend *giggle*

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
