Just got sleeved, though gas pain sucks ass.



Recommended Posts

I woke up from surgery not regretting a thing (Think because I was given pain meds when I was asleep on the way to recovery room) I was there for 3 hours total even when I was okay. I had to pee, but I wanted to wait until I had gotten my room, because I was not used to the idea of a bed pan. I found out the incision near my belly button started bleeding a bit even after being glued. But it got patched, which is good. Overall, I was happy for a short time until I got into my room. I got pretty emotional and started crying when my fiancé wouldn't answer his phone, I called 20 times because I wanted him here with me. He ended up coming two hours later.

Just tonight, I walked 5 times, the two times I got up to walk, I walked 2 laps, and then just one an hour later because gas pain was getting pretty bad (I had not passed gas all today.) the pain was a 7, so I was just given pain meds to help me sleep. So far the pressure of the gas is still there, but the pain is a 2-3.

The nurses are so nice. My highest weight was 360, today my surgery weight is 337. My goal is 160, and my height is 5'7 1/2.

Overall, today was good. I was not nervous, I was calm. I woke up high and yelling "Hey you!" To a nurse and telling her how pretty she is.

Here I am. IMG_2168.JPG

I just wanted to tell my experience from yesterday. I get discharged this late morning. :D

The gas pain is the worst part. Hang in there...every day gets better. It took about a week for mine to completely go away.

Thank you, I will enjoy it. Haven't passed any gas yet, but I stopped drinking broth and Protein Shake to decrease the air intake.

You are my female counterpart. All your numbers are almost exactly the same as mine. My highest weight was 362. My surgery weight was 326 and my goal is 170. I also was cut yesterday and at the hospital. Keep me posted on your journey and lean on me if needed. Eddie.

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