Me! Had mine around 11 AM on Sept 1. Was in my hospital room by 2:30 PM, and check out the next day about noon. So, this is my first full day home.

I'm allowed to go to full Protein drinks as soon as I like, so last night, I tried my beloved PP, but it just seemed too rich for for me. This morning, however, I managed all of a Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade. I'm also on liquid Vicodin every 4 hours, omaprazole once a day, and an anti-nausea drug when I need it. Last night I was up for my 4 AM dose and threw up a little bit. I think I was taking too big sips. Anyway, I used the anti-nausea drug then.

Right now I'm having small cups of cinnamon tea and of PP chocolate, with the aim of finishing up the chocolate shake by six PM. Painwise, I'm most sore getting out of bed, but sitting in my chair or walking have been pretty okay for me. Ooo, and I have passed gas and a tiny uh, poo. :-) I'm watching out for sharts, though. :-)

I was sleeved Tues too. Came home Thursday and so far so good. Can't get all the liquids down yet, but will be trying to increase them today. I'm very gassy today but no pain.

Incision pain for me is the worst. They also gave me shots in my stomach for nausea or something so that could also be the reason for soreness. If I wasn't sore I think Id feel so much better. But again the pain is like a sore tender burning sensation. Its gotten better as the days have progressed. I walk around the block after every "meal" to help with gas and reflux. Already overdid Water this morning

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
