ohhthisjourney 8 Posted November 1, 2016 I was also sleeved on the same day as you! I have had almost no pain at all. But I did get to spend 2 nights in the hospital (surgery was not completed till 3:30) that is why I think I won the second day. I started feeling worse when I got home, fever no urge to drink or anything. Was falling asleep all the time. So I called the Dr and they told me to hit the power aid (yuck) but I did it. The next morning my surgeon calls and I tell him everything. Go to the ER NOW! At the ER i found out I had a UTI and some nasty CDIFF. I am on HEAVY antibiotics, but am feeling good today!

gman18251 14 Posted November 2, 2016 Congrats on the sleeve ! Hope your doing better now . I've been walking a lot and have taken a month off from work to heal properly . So far I'm down like 16 pounds from surgery date . I can't wait to get into the puree or soft foods phase . I still get a lil tired after I walk or push it to hard but am getting better everyday Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brendaew 12 Posted November 5, 2016 Don't know if this helps or if you already know but www.insurenutrition.com will contact your insurance co to see if you qualify for your premier Protein shakes, scar and stretch mark cream to be covered. My insurance covered it and that a savings of $100.00 a month just on shakes. Just make sure you don't have a cap on prescriptions. Hope this helps and congrats on this wonderful journey. I am 9 weeks post op and down 40 lbs. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
