Everyone told me this, lol. This was not my experience at all. The day of surgery the before was fine, no nerves at all, the surgery team was super kool. My surgeon was super relaxed. Everyone was talking to me then I was out. I woke up when my daughters and granddaughters came to see me and were arguing about who was there first, lol. I was on pain meds up to my day going home. I couldn’t pee the first day and a half so I had surgery on Friday and went home Sunday evening. I had no upset tummy. I got up to walk 3 times a day, had my ice chips and liquids. I slept a lot from the pain meds, I had a pain push the first 2 days. Walking did help a lot. I just couldn’t pee on my own even after walking. 10 laps, no but I walked with my girls, usually about 6 of they. I have a total of 11. Daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughters, no boys😿, lol. The first week home I got dehydrated and had to be infused at my weight loss center on my scheduled 5th day visit and get vitamin B1 and B12 shots. I now make sure I get all in now. A B1 shoot is hell😱😱😱, seriously!!!! The pain was gone around week 3, unless I did something stupid. So far, so good!👍🏾

I would like to thank you, Dr. Weiner for all the You Tube Sessions that you have created. I really did not have much to guide me after the Gastric Sleeve Surgery and your individual You Tube Sessions helped answer questions that I wanted answered. I am post op since November 5, 2015 and am at a plateau. I started out at 207 and now weigh 189 pounds. I seem to be holding this weight for almost three weeks. Is this normal? I do admit that I eat a sweet snack now and then at night time. I have been eating the prescribed foods and exercise. I am also a diabetic and 61 years old. Thank you, Judy Boris (Chicago).
@apoundofcure8 жыл бұрын
+Judy Boris Judy, since you started out at a lower weight, you will lose weight more slowly then someone who starts out 100lbs more. You have lost 18 pounds in two months - this is within the range of normal weight loss after surgery for someone your size. Plateaus are common, be patient. Also, if you lost weight before surgery, often time this slows down weight loss after surgery.

I think the sleeve has come a long way even since this video. My surgery was on 8-26-19 and my surgeon doesn’t believe in catheters. By the end of the first day they just made sure I was able to urinate on my own, which I was. Also, I have rheumatoid arthritis and one of my medications is rather large and I take two pills twice a day. They told me I could start taking my regular medications the day after I got home which was my second day post op and I was fine.

This was new news to me, and am quite afraid because there is a strong history of Arthritis in my family. It just concerns me thinking that IF I do accumulate Arthiritis later in life or in old age (currently I'm 30), how effective will my treatment be in terms of the inflammation and pain? And what other alternatives are there? I would appreciate your knowledge on this subject. Thank You!
