Getting my surgery tomorrow

[undeadDharma 26]

Hi, I’m getting my sleeve tomorrow and just any advice post op would be wonderful. I’m very interested in healing time, how soon you can start to workout again and how much weight everyone lost in the first 30,60,90..... days. I go back to school in 30 days and not sure if I should be expecting to buy new clothes.

I just had my surgery on April 3rd. Healing for me i have watched and listened to healing music on youtube. It has helped. i'm feeling good, and you will need to walk to help healing also. I'M on the liquid diet now and i will say im still hungary, but i know it is part of the process for your new stomach to heal properly. So Far I'm down 10 lbs. It's a start. Good luck , and fast healing :)

Good luck with your surgery. Everybody loses a different amount due to the weight they started at and other factors. Percentages remain the same, though. I've lost about 30% of my excess weight in 4 months. I could go to the gym doing cardio within 2 weeks of surgery but not lift weights, then I could start weight lifting at 6 weeks.

Thanks everyone. Coming out of Anesthesia took awhile. Kept dozing off all afternoon( surgery was noon:30) Lots of pain, nurses said it was gas pain. Started walking yesterday. Got to eat ice chips around 10pm. Starting me on my liquid diet today and just sipping Water hurts. I wonder how long the pain from that is going to last?

Make sure and walk as much as you can.....it's really the only way to get rid of the gas pains. They linger but get less and less everyday. In between walks, do as little up and down out of the bed as possible. You need to heal

Sip your Water in TINY sips and slowly. I am 2 weeks out and my incisions are still a little sore and I still have a little gas every now and then, but I admit I'm not walking as much as I should since the weather stinks right now.

You did it! Good luck on this great adventure you are beginning!

Move as much as you can. It will help get the gas out. Congrats on your surgery!
