Just wanted to say hey and good luck to everyone on their current and/or future sleeve journey. I just had my sleeve done on 4/3/17 and am on post op day 5. I wish I had found the forum prior to my surgery, but oh well.

Hi Sean!

We are sleeve twins!

I also had mine done on the 4th! How you finding it? Today is the best I've felt so far, I'm struggling to get my full liquids in!

I cannot wait to puree stage!

Hey Jade!

Each day I feel a little better. The day after surgery was probably the worst for me. The gas pain that I experienced (which I wish I had been forewarned about) was incredible. I was super sore in my upper back and shoulders. It took about 2 days for the pain to dissipate.

I have no pain in the incision sites, just a huge eggplant colored bruise from the heparin shots, from my mid chest, all the way down my stomach.

The only issue I've had, and I've only found a few cases of it, is immediately upon waking up from surgery I had a strong electrical pain in my right quadricep muscle and made my muscle spasm. Since then, it comes and goes with burning, tingling, and numbness. I will be addressing it with my Dr on Tuesday at my 1 week follow up. We'll see how it goes.

I haven't struggled at all with my liquids thankfully. That was one of my biggest concerns going in.
