Sleeved & Home

Hi guys just wanted to posted that I'm sleeve and I'm officially now part of the loser bench,The first two days it didn't even feel like i had surgery i was moving so much even my Dr was impressed,However today I'm in much more pain and sore,Thank you guys for all your encouragement. 

Welcome home!!  I hope the pain subsides and it becomes a painless healing process. 

 Thank you Melz I cant wait for the pain to subside.So that i can finally be a little bit more comfortable.

Welcome to the losers bench. I felt great as soon as they took the drain out, yes I had some soreness but not as much as I thought I would. I had all good days since the drain came out so I can't relate to the pain.

Just take it easy and get some rest and sip sip sip. Remember to keep moving when you feel up to it and just short walks will make you feel much better This is major surgery even though you don't feel it.

 The the thing i never had any drains,Thank god but i do have the soreness.I've been walking to try and help with the gas and eating chewable gas x hopefully i'll start feeling better soon.

 Happy to hear that things went well with your surgery! I am having VSG this coming Tuesday. I am sure that I will be reaching out to you and others on any tips after surgery!
Congrats!
Lesley

 HI Lesley,Thank you i'm feeling pretty damn good aside from the gas pain and soreness...Congrats on your up coming date....You can always send me a friend request if you ever want to chat.

 Congrats I cant wait to join you on the loosers side of this! Keep taking those pain meds, don't try to be a hero and best of luck!!!! Keep us posted on the progress. So glad to here it went well. I am a nervous wreck about the surgery so I love hearing from people that it can go smoothly. 

Hang in there, I don't think it is bad as you think. I actually had a great recovery and had no problems. I remember being in Mexico and reading the boards and some people that were a few weeks out were having problems laying down post op, none here and thought maybe where my surgeon did so many of these he had it all figured out for pain control for his patients.

Your nerves are going to get worse probably, my only thing was leaving my baby when I got out of the car at the airport, I was in tears because there are risks with any surgery of course that is what bothered me was incase I didn't make it back to my kids. Once I got to the hospital I felt good, wanted to get it over with really quick and get better and get home.

 Your right Jackie,My recovery hasnt been too bad.Just the gas pain its what really hurts.I've not had any problem laying down.I'm a side sleeper and i was really worried about it.How I've been able to sleep pretty well on my side with a pillow in front of me.My nerves did get the best of me at first but the day of surgery i went in my calm and with god on my head.
