Hi there! This is my first time posting here, I wanted to share my experience with my gastric sleeve surgery. I was admitted to hospital at 800 surgery started arou d 915 and ended at 1015. Was kept in recovery for about 2 hours. When I finally woke up I was in an amazing amount of pain, I started asking for pain medicine, after I was given the medicine everything went back to normal. I was taken to my room and felt ok exempt for a lot of nauseas, but no pain. On second day I was doing much better . On third day that I was sent home around 9 a,m. I felt incredible, no pain whatsoever , I even went for a brief walk around the block for 20 ,ins . I just wanted to share if in case my experience will help others.

Took me a year to decide on any weight loss procedure..kinda scary but during the lprcess the dietician, doctors n n.p. was great in answering questions..And a week before surgery I found this group..they have been a help telling it like it is..Keep thumbing thru storied to help you get mentally prepare for any possibilities.. Mine was Nice 9 and I had to plan how I take in my liquids to stay on track..good luck to you.

i am really new on this so i do not know how to reply individually. all i can say today is my 4th day post and feel great. i had my gall bladder removed last year and the pain is not even close so i really knew what to expect, no gas pain that was the best part. i think i was just so ready for this , mentally, i had 10 years investigating and for whatosever reason i did not follow thru. this time i was so convinced so determined that it was my time. i have 4 small children all under 7, i knew i had to be at my best for them. today i went again for my 30 mins walk, i can do much more , but i will adhere to my dr's advice since i may no see it or feell my body has a lot of healing to do. i stopped yesterday pain medication and even drove to a near location without problem. i am really determined to think that it was all mentally, i went to my admission at the hosipiatl so happy, never did i have a doubt. blessing to all

I was sleeved November 1. I made the decision for the surgery mid-summer and started the process.

I had a fantastic surgeon. I had a minimum of pain afterward, only taking pain meds for 1 day.

I returned to work last Monday. My challenges are really knowing when I am full and getting enough Protein in. I know it's early and I will get there. I've lost 18.5 lbs since surgery.
