Fluids all gone down ok. I can’t believe how quickly all these steps/milestones keep coming! I can’t wait to get losing some weight!

It’ll happen! I’m down 13# already since Monday. You got this!!! The little changes are noticeable right away, I haven’t had any edema since surgery day. Woohoo!! Each day the drinking gets a bit easier. You’re doing great....keep it up!!! ❤️

Getting discharged this afternoon. Worst part for me was the anesthesia piece...on my phone app at the moment. Will try to get online when I get home to check up on everyone.

Nicoleamy do you mean pylori? They do that when you have the endoscopy, if that’s what you mean

Hello, my surgery date is on April 22nd and i have been waiting for this day since last summer. I live in NJ but my surgery is at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. I am currently on a two week liquid and raw veggie diet. The days are speeding by fast. I have no idea what I am getting myself into. I have done my research and have read the forums and prayed from time to time but reading is different from actually having the surgery and experiencing post op and beyond. This is going to be a new journey for real. I pray that I stick with what I need to do to succeed. I am very thankful to the"Bariatric Pal" app. Is there any other person having the surgery on the same day and/ or at the same hospital?

Another update:

My sleeve was on the 4th and my first follow-up was today. Everything went well. The incisions are healing nicely with slight oozing in one and my first NSV - my blood pressure has already dropped from prehypertension levels to normal. My surgeon seemed surprised by my burping complaint. Thankfully, it's getting better each day.

Now, only if I could chew something.

Happy to hear that everything is going well. I have been burping up a storm. I had heard that it is harder to burp after the sleeve, but it sure does help getting that air out of my chest.

I’m ready to move on to purées already, and it’s only been 3 days since surgery.

Best of luck to you and I hope you keep improving! Also, congrats on the NSV. That’s great news!!!!

Initially, my burps where sooooo uncomfortable, but now they are more of an annoyance than anything.

My surgeon won't let me do purées until next month. 😮
