@@rdharri, how are you recovering? How did your surgery day go? I just got approved today, and I am a wreck.

I just got approval this afternoon. Thought my surgery would be in November.. but found out my date is on HALLOWEEN!!! Holy Crapcake!! Tomorrow, I begin my liquid pre-op diet. I am a wreck! I am terrified.

Please, anyone who's had their sleeve done within the past few weeks.. speak to me. Tell me how you did right after surgery. How was recovery? How was the pain? Did you take GasX strips? How are you now? Should I wear a costume to the operating room? (just kidding about the last question)

My surgeon is Marc Bessler ... did anyone have him as their surgeon?

I understand your fears and anxiety. I felt the same way and was really emotional leading up to the surgery. I'm now 3 weeks post op and have recovered really well. I had manageable pain levels the day after surgery, mostly from gas and was mostly pain free 2 days post op. Your tummy doesn't actually hurt which I found strange. It's more of an indigestion or heartburn feeling.

I did really well with taking in liquids and purées and I'm now in the soft foods stage and doing fine with that also. I know everyone is different so I can only speak for myself but it was so much easier than I thought it would be.

Good luck. Try not to think about it too much. You'll be fine.

Surgery was the Oct 17. Released from hospital on Oct 19 in the morning. Gas pain in shoulders is the worst part and trying to get enough Water. Stomach gurgles constantly lol. But they say that is good.

I'm anxiously nervous. Having the sleeve on October 24th. Trying not to think about the first weeks but how happy I'll be and feel by the first of the year. Looking forward to a great 2017.

I am scheduled for HALLOWEEN too!!! Your costume will consist of a patient gown, no undies, an IV and a hair bonnet. The best costume EVER!!!

I had rny, sure it will be different for you. My pain sucked, but I knew it would going in. By 7 days out I was feeling much more like myself. No meds and no pain. You can do this.

Hello everyone,

I was sleeved on October 20th. I'm starting my 3rd day post-op, and feeling pretty good overall. I had a some nausea in the first 24 hours (especially during the 2 hour drive home from the hospital--miserable). I slept most of the following day and the next, but started feeling better by mid day on Saturday. I'm drinking as much Water and broth as I can get down and hoping to take a walk later today to get the blood flowing again.

Good luck to anyone who's still waiting to have their surgery this month. You'll do great!!!

Agreed! I feel nearly human today

Took a shower and went for a walk of almost a mile and feel little to no pain.
