Is it normal to run low grade temp right after sleeve surgery? Also has anyone's staples leaked? How rare is it?
thank you
Chapstick is most important. Other than that a phone and charger. The hospital will provide everything else. It is usually a one night stay.

SuMari, thanks for the congrats. I'm getting a bit weak in the knees thinking of all of this, but I just read other posts and it helps for the most part! I'm not great at being on here all the time to post, but I need to do more. I can see the support!

Hello jbskaggs,
I am a support person for someone going through the surgery process soon, but read your post and had to say I'm praying for the best outcome for you. Just stopping by to wish you the best.
Hi everyone,
I'm supporting my daughter in this process and I'm wondering what you took to the hospital in your bag and what was the most helpful item you took?
Thanks!
I am sorry to hear about all that you are going through. I hope and pray you are feeling better soon!
Very late reply, I was looking for the post on back to basics but couldnt find it, can you link it for me. I need to start getting on here daily.

Congrats! I am still waiting to see a surgeon/dietitian so I'm just kinda doing things on my own but thankfully, I have not gained anything during the quarantine, which is a shocked since the last few years of my life every time I got on the scale, it seemed to be more than the last time. Praying things get moving soon! Can't wait to see your progress!
I am sorry you are going through this! I am praying that you have some comfort in knowing specific issues that are causing your issues and that the vitamins/meds/surgical procedures correct everything.
Hi, Jinxy6. Congratulations on your one year!! Wow, it sounds like you have no regrets.
I am a 64 year old lady going through the process for a vertical sleeve. I am currently following the diet to lose 10% then my doctor and I will go on to next step. I am concerned about my age and the fact that my skin most likely will not recover. I am also hearing now about hair loss.
would you mind sharing your thoughts regarding these two issues.
I know that carrying around baggy skin and being hairless is far better than the weight, but just curious to hear thoughts from someone closer to my age.
Thank You
Ali G
