I was there for 2 nights. They said that was standard. I did wake up in a lot of pain so I was glad to be there with all the meds :) Did anyone else have a lot of pain?
Good Luck and CONGRATS!!!
Good luck on your journey!
Welcome! Buyers remorse was something I had also. Everyone I talked to about the WLS said that they were so happy and they would do it all over again. They were all so positive but I was regretting...
The main thing that I am intolerant to is the sour cream... I LOVED sour cream on everything pre-wls... sometimes I forget that I can't eat it and as soon as I take one bite of something with the...
Just being able to sit comfortably with my legs crossed anywhere is awesome to me! I remember when I couldn't keep my knees together (no pun) lol! But to be able to do it under the seat tray was an...
I would wait also... I had a "nice rack" before surgery and now they are nothing but skin! I swear if I were to get on all fours without a bra you would be able to milk them like a cow (sorry for...
I was married before WLS and a year later left my husband. Yes, there was a lot of attention and yes my husband was also giving me a lot of attention, but he was very controlling after the surgery...

Well best of luck! Sounds like you have a terrific support system! Prayers are coming your way!
I'm looking to change mine too... Couldn't figure it out...
I had a tummy tuck last year in March and all I can say is take EXTRA good care after and make sure you have support at home. They don't close you up with stitches and staples... They use glue and...
:o I'm soooo proud of you sister! U inspire me! Thank you for encouraging me and for being there for me through my sleeve! Love you!
Well it was officially one week ago today that I became the owner of my very own brand new sleeve! I'm down 12 pounds. My scale likes to play dirty tricks on me and I hate it. I have to step on it...
I'm new to this too. 6 days post op. I'm having similar issues and lots of gas pain in my chest. I wish you all the best of luck. I don't get to start purée until 14 days post op. lucky you! Good...
I was sleeved on 8/23/12. I have lost 5 lbs since surgery. I still have sooo much gas in my chest it hurts to breath! The painkillers help with the pain but then they make me nauseous. I'm pretty...
