Just had surgery last Tuesday, was back to work this past Monday. (D/C'd from hospital on THursday night). No problems, per se, other than fatigue. I have a desk job also and have made it work but...

Wooohoooooo! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I think it's to be expected. I just had sleeve 7 days ago, back to work yesterday. I came home early today and feel better. I think this is status quo for next couple weeks. Here's to us regaining...

I was just diagnosed with it after doing preoperative lab work. Was given 2 Antibiotics and a PPI but didnt finish. I had sleeve
last week and can't stomach meds without food- no pun intended. ...

Back to work today. Very tired after 3-4 hours. Hopefully, stamina will improve.

THanks! That's exactly what I'm looking forward to right now, along with more energy and being able to "move!" Love the pic of your darling little angel. :o

Just the first seven days post op, twice a day.

Just chiming in....ditto to just about everything everyone said earlier. Food addiction is often borne as a defense mechanism after being abused (especially sexually but also emotionally,...

I went in for surgery on Tuesday morning but was delayed ("held" in pre-op area) due to "equipment failure" in another operating suite for the patient ahead of me. Obviously, this did not help calm...

I am just completing my 2nd day of clear liquids and have surgery tomorrow. Nothing after 8am and surgery is at 12.

Wow......I just got into bed, for the last time, on the " unsleeved" side. The next time I am back in my bed I'll be new. I have surgery tomorrow at noon and needed one last bit of reassurance so...

My surgery is tomorrow and I have looked for both the positive and negative as it makes me feel "more in control" to know both sides, up and down, what to expect. It makes me feel more "informed"...

Just saw your post. Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

Thank you so very much for your day by day report. I am having surgery Tuesday and your words are so reassuring. Congratulations on your success and best wishes on your journey.

Welcome! I am new here myself but am finding this forum so helpful and supportive! Again, welcome!

Congratulations, Shannon! Glad everything is going well. I'll be right behind you....my date is 2/18. Well wishes!

Is it hard to get the fluids and proteins down/in? When are returning to work (if you work)? Thank you for sharing.

CONGRATULATIONS! Looking forward to hearing about your journey.

Best,

I am so happy to know I'm not being unreasonable to think I don’t need 6 weeks in bed. If so, I am not sure how I would get the time off and I don't want to put this off any longer. It's been 10...

Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to this group.:)

I'm new here...hoping to have sleeve on 2/18/14, provided I can manage work schedule around this date. Anyone have feedback regarding recovery time? (I don't have any particular "health problems"...
