I'm feeling so tired and just ready to sleep all week. I hope this feeling subsides soon. I'm being discharged today no big deal. Best part is i'm sleeved. I have no appetite and my focus is staying hydrated. I have some serious chest pain and they did a complete cardiac work-up but it was negative and more than likely acid reflux! I just cant wait for this all to be over. its no fun being post-op at all!

 Your right, this time is not fun, but I can honestly tell you that it's worth it. Just keep moving and sipping, those chest pains might be gas and nothing moves it better then walking. Good luck, before you know it this part will be over and you will be well on your way to the new you!

I hear you girl...my worst day was the 3rd day but then on the 4th day I woke up feeling like I can run a marathon of how good I was feeling.  It's very normal for you to have some pain remember you just underwent major surgery.  Before you know it you'll be back to normal again.

WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH...and have faith, things will get MUCH BETTER

My worse day was after the surgery when I got up to walk just the feeling of too many sit ups, second day the drain was a pain and I got a migraine that evening. Day three drain gone all better and all better after each day after that.

Trust me, each day it does get better.  When I was discharged on 10/1 all I could say was want have a done to myself.  But it really gets better each day.  2-3 days after you get home you feel a lot better.  I compare this surgery to the tummy tuck I got in 2003 (lost 130lbs and I found every pound during the last 8 yrs) my recovery time was much much longer.  Today 1 week and 1 day later I feel 100% better.  Just try to keep on sipping and moving.

Just a question about the tummy tuck, did you have a c-section before? Wondering what the difference is between that and c-section pain. I don't think I can handle anything that was like a c-section again.

 I had a lower body life in 2009, the best thing I ever did...They cut me literally in half all the way around, it was rough but so well worth it....Think about it, you lose all this weight and then you have this skin that hangs and you have to tuck it in your pants, not a god thing...Im as flat at could be now..Just had my revision from lap band to sleeve this wednesday because my band slipped...I was so bummer, I now have scars again on my stomack, going to get the taken care of as soon as I can....Good luck....
