April Marie 69 Posted December 9, 2018 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 testimonialsSent from my 5049Z using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 1 paddyski, sillykitty and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Letsgetgoing2018 448 Posted December 9, 2018 47-sleeved July 10th. Worst right now is the Hair loss but I’m managing! 1 1 ProudGrammy and April Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swanton_Bomb 522 Posted December 9, 2018 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. 2 April Marie and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
