I'm very happy I got the Gastric sleeve done, without it I would have still been really big. I'm more confident, I feel great, I even look better.

1st week post up appt
On August 24th , I went to go see my Bariatric Dr. When they weighed me I was at 235. I was like omg what???? Coming from 256 yeah I was in shock. I never thought I would ever see a low number. After many many years of researching, I know I made the right choice ! Anyways, my Incisions are healing really nice , I don't think the scars are gonna be ugly nor very noticeable . Next week, I'll be seeing my nutritionist . I can't freaking wait, I'm tired of broth, and Jell-O. I'm ready for food!!!! I definitely feel like I have more energy. They did some testing on the stomach and it turns out I have an Ulcer. I know how I got it, it was because of all the Nasaids I've been taking for my headache , menestrual cramps, and back ache. I'd pop about 3-4 every 3 hours. Some I'm taking some medicine for it. I feel overwhelmed over all these medications I'm taking. I can't stand the multivitamin I have to take, I barf it up each time. It's called Celebrate chewable let me tell you it tastes like the darn Flintstone vitamins. I hate that flavor!! I'm soo fed up with drinking the Isopure drinks too! =/ sigh ,but I'm following what they told me to do. Stay strong my Gastric Sleevers!!!

Weight loss questions
Hello everyone, since my Pre-op diet to now 4 days post op I've noticed that my breasts are getting smaller. Will it stop getting smaller, will my breasts droop a lot? Idk how I feel about this... Is it normal for your chest to hurt when breathing in ? It feels as if I've been smoking cigarette after cigarette after another.

I had pain when breathing in while the drain tube was still in. After that it pretty much went away, but I've heard it can happen because your diaphragm and chest wall are irritated. Regardless, you should consult your doctor, just in case. As for the boobs, yeah unfortunately, they were the first to go away. :( I've always had somewhat droopy boobs, but they're pretty sad now, lol. My mom was a B cup and when I was in the Air Force and trim, I was a small C. I should've known those DDs weren't going to hang around, lol.

congratulations on your surgery! You are only a few days post op and most likely it's trapped air (which is gas for us) and takes a few days for it to go away. But if the pain is unbearable then you should call your surgeon. Hope your recovery is going smoothly for you otherwise.
As for your boobs, you look very young and you might be ok, but only time will tell :-/
