I'm HOME just got SLEEVED on Wed!!
The day of surgery was pretty rough for me ... anesthesia and I aren't the best of friends. lol Other than that it was smooth sailing. By Friday I was at the mall ... lol. I sersiously started feeling like I was just on vacation and nothing "major" had happened. However, I TOTALLY noticed it when my companions were eating all the yummy food that I couldn't. It smelled great and looked good but I wasn't "hungry". It really is the most amazing feeling in the world. It felt so great to sip my tortilla soup and be able to not say ... let me have a bite. lol Plus ... after a bit of my soup I was satisfied. I'm sooo looking forward to working this sleeve to its fullest potential.
Now I'm back home from Mexico and of course have my first sign of discomfort. It started yesterday I was reaching for the car door and felt this sharp pain it kinda felt like a tear on the inside. It kinda felt like when you rip off a band-aid really quickly. It happens right above my belly button it was a quick sharp pain then the area felt kind of warm ... after that it went away. Today it happened when I was getting up too quick off of the couch ... has anyone ever had this sort of pain (i have put a call into my Dr.) just wondering if anyone else has experienced it. I also have weird pains that feel like something is moving in my stomach. I've come to the realization that's gas. lol
I'm SOOOOO flippin excited to be on this journey. Can't WAIT to post some real weight loss stats.
WOOOO HOOOOOOO the SLEEVE is ON!! LOL
NOTE: Does anyone know how I can put the name of my Dr. on my profile under my name / avatar?

Tomorrow I am going to start my excercise regimn, as they recommend excercising as much as possible prior to surgery to help with the recovery. It seems to me that I have heard others on the You Tube channel speak of the same type of sensation you are refering to, also in the early post op sleeve.....I never heard them say there was something wrong with their sleeves though, I hope all is well for you too.
I can not wait to taste this tortilla soup everyone keeps mentioning. I am looking forward to it. : )
If you have any tips for the surgery- I would love to hear them.
Slim ... Trish (works directly with Dr. Kelly in Mexico) was my coordinator and she was THE BEST!! I'm not familiar with any other coordinators so I'm not sure how they work. I know that Trish came to my hotel room the day I left surgery and had a bag of goodies for me ... Gatorade, Jello, Gauze, Tape, Medicine and Instructions. Then she took me and my companion shopping. I had a great experience with Trish and Dr. Kelly. I pray that yours is just as fabulous!
P.S. How did you put Dr. Kelly's name on your signature? I've tried to do it through MY OH but it isn't working for me.
