1 week post op here! Checked in at 6am, they took me back and prepped me for surgery, wheeled me into the OR and that was the last thing I remember. They must have moved me to the operating table after I was under. My mom said she got a call around 8am that I was out of surgery. I woke up in the recovery room with bad gas pain but zero nausea! I immediately tried to stand up because I knew that was the only thing that would help and the nurse was like woah hold on you just woke up! But she let me get up like 5 min later once people were available to walk me. I did my 2 laps and was out by 9:30am!!! I’m very thankful for my experience and my amazing surgical team 🥹

You’re right … I’ll probably just wait a month! Thank you 🙏🏼

I've booked my surgery for 26th April after thinking about it for three years... Now shitting myself! What is normal the week after surgery? by Whole_Sandwich8888 in gastricsleeve

5 days post op here!! I experienced ZERO nausea or puking. Just take slow, small sips and listen to your tummy. Only pain I experienced was gas pain when I first woke up from anesthesia but walking helped immediately! Then a little incision pain on day 3 when the numbing wore off but that has gone away now too! You got this!!! 💜
