41. Did my sleeve on 10/29. Doing well so far. Cleared to slowly incorporate any (healthy) foods I want.
Thats good I'm a little bit nervous of the after effects from waking up as I saw a lot of people on YouTube with the testimonials

I’m not gonna lie - the immediate aftermath wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. But I felt pretty good fairly quickly. My one piece of (very TMI) advice - stay ahead of Constipation if you have it. That was my most unpleasant side effect.

I turned 40 in February and was sleeved on October 29. Not complications so far other than the previously mentioned Constipation.

44 here. Recovery was not nearly as bad as I anticipated, but no walk in the park. I think it depends a lot on your surgeon and nurses. I was lucky to have a very experienced and skilled surgeon and the hospital helped me manage my pain well. The Constipation can get really BAD, the combo of high Protein, low Fiber and not being able to manage enough Fluid makes for a bad intestinal time. Colace seems to be a mild preventative but Milk of Magnesia is much more effective if it is in full swing. I'm bracing myself for the Hair loss and just praying it isn't too bad, especially since I am already thin. I've seen a lot of after pictures though, and no one seems to have horrific loss, so I am hoping that it won't look too awful.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
