Sleeve Gastrectomy last Wednesday and life already looks good!!!!

[jayney]

Hi all,

I did promise to come back online when it was all over and done with so here I am !!

I had my op last Wednesday (24th Nov) and cant describe how priviledged and thrilled I feel to have been given this chance to tackle my weight once and for all.

On the morning of surgery I'd lost over 5 stone in the run up to the operation date and although I was petrified that something may go wrong I have to say that it was all very plain sailing (apart from some pain in recovery ~ poor male nurse had his ear chewed off abit!) By the next morning I was walking for a shower and allowed a cup of coffee and the day got better as half a mullerlite yoghurt was devoured for tea.

I was allowed home Friday teatime after a very small serving of tomato soup and I have just gone on and on getting better.

I'm 8lb lighter on the scales already and honestly feel great ~ there's an obvious soreness if I twist or move sharply but I've had the straighteners on my hair this morning so thats a good sign of me getting better!!

I'm determined not to run before I can walk so the snow keeping me housebound isnt actually a bad thing

so for anyone still awaiting their operation a massive hug of best wishes x and for all of you inspiring us newbies a big kiss 'thank you'

Congratulations Jayne and welcome to the losers bench. Glad everything went alright. We haven't got any snow in Manchester yet, but it's been trying to snow all day. Keep warm and drink plenty of fluid.

Jayne,

Thanks for your post. I have read about so many people having no pain after surgery, your post strangely made me feel better, now if I do I won't worry so much!
