When I was at the doctor yesterday they told me that is the key to make the gas pain leave. They told me I must walk it out and push through. I'm so happy you are doing so well.

I commend you for starting early. Not me I wont be starting a day earlier then I have to. Lol. I had my final appointment today and my surgeon told me the longer you do it the better it is. He suggested I do a full 2 weeks if I can 🤪

Thank you DeeDee ... it's the morning after surgery and I am very happy with how I am responding after surgery. I've gotten my Water, walking, and pain is well managed. I wish this could be everyone's experience.

Hello September Sleevers!! Had my surgery yesterday. Though I am far from an expert I want to stress a few points. When your reading comments from veteran sleevers and you find a pattern of the same responses do them. I have read walk walk walk to help with the gas pain. It helped A LOT. Also, sip sip sip ... incredible useful sipping away on clear fluids. Walking even helped my pain where the small incision was. If your in pain don't try to be tough and bare through it. Stay ahead of the pain. Ice packs ... feels so good. It's almost 24 hours since I was rolled off to surgery. And all those repeated advice points helped alot. I know it differs from person to person. I hope this helps to ease some anxiety for those who are waiting.

I never thought I would appreciate being on the loser bench. Lost 5 lbs since surgery. 2 days out and still doing well. I meet my Protein goal, my liquids, my walking, and used the incentive spirometer. I'm managing my pain with ice packs.
