Home today.... Had my sleeve done on Tuesday....
Congratulations!!! Welcome to the Losers Bench. We made room for you. Keep walking and sipping, a little each day. As you get your strength back, increase the amount of time you walk. Most importantly, make every attempt to make your liquid intake goals. Keep a drink with you, and sip as much as you are able. Fluid intake is vital, especially when you are on full liquids.
God bless.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good luck, BJ. Follow your doctor's exactly! I sure hope your sleeve works better for you than mine is.
I know it is a fantastic tool for many, many. Because I did a lot of research before I got mine.
I would give lots of $ to go back and get my band replaced instead of changing to the sleeve!

Congrats and welcome to the "Losers Bench" You'll do fine, it just takes a little bit of time and healing to get where you want to go. . . do what the doctor prescribed and all will be well.

Congratulations BJ and welcome!!! I had the sleeve also and love it. Do exactly what your doctor says, drink and walk. You will do great. I'm a year out and couldn't be happier with my surgery. Prayers and good wish to you.

Good for you, BJ! So glad you are home again. Every day will be a little bit better than the one before. Just take it easy for the first few weeks and listen to the needs of your body. I took a nap every day for the first 2 months (and I am not a nap person). Walk and drink your water. Once you get off full liquids, don't worry about trying too many new foods at first. I couldn't tolerate any kind of pork or ham or bacon at all at first. Now it's not a problem.
Happy for you!
Happy for you!
