Hi RS community! I am a 43 yr old mother of 3 that has been over weight on and off as long as I can remember. I have been a member and read your reviews religiously. I am finally ready to post. I am 13 hours away from being sleeved. I am so excited. Looking forward to the progress you all have had and posting it here along with yours.

sooo I had my surgery on Friday. I am still here in the hospital. I'm having trouble with the liquid in my drain. The tests are showing something funky. We're gunna do a test tomorrow to make sure my tummy is not leaking. Pain is controlled with the mess. I was up walking since day 1 which I think helped with the gas. Everything has gone well. I'm looking forward to going home and really starting the work.

Planning on having my WLS end of August. Any suggestions in my 3mouth wait period? How have you done do fat?

Hope you get the funk out. Kidding aside, good luck finding the cause. You are in good hands in the hospital, thankfully you were still there when they found concern. Glad the pain is controlled, keep walking.

Drama and food depervation n all, I have no regrets this far.

Why did you have a drain tube???
June 4, 2015
They put the drain in to remove any extra fluid in ur stomach cavity. You don't even really kno it's there.

Thats different, I didn't have anything like that, but I guess every DR. does it different. Hope you get better soon.
June 2, 2015
My goodness, I sure hope there are no leaks. Please keep us updated. Warm and pleasant thoughts for you.
