Just had my gastric sleeve today about 8 am and all went great! Took a little under 1 hr and I just finished walking 1 mile. Hoping to go home tomorrow :)

    So relieved the surgery is over for you and you can start the next stage of healing. A mile walk is a lot on surgery day. Way to go. Wishing you a speedy recovery. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks!! Just a little sore, but nothing major. I also pulled a muscle in the hospital right after getting out of bed for the first time after surgery and walking a mile. I tried to get back in bed and honestly my nurse wasn't very friendly or helpful. Instead of helping me to sit back she had the bed flat and I tried to lay and felt a horrible pain shoot from lower back through my stomach up to my shoulder and neck. She left the room then I got situated in bed and started having spasms coming and going over and over and had to have my husband get me up out of the bed as fast as he could. I couldn't even help him when it was happening. Standing up was the only thing that made it go away. I ended up having it happen a few hours later too. So now I can't wait til my stomach is healed all the way so I can go to the chiropractor to get this fixed because I'm still having pains from it.also I haven't ever felt full yet. I'm not hungry, but never feel full and my stomach rumbles all of the time. A lot of the time I have only ate 1 1/2 ounces at my meals though instead of 2 ounces.
