I'm Sleeved

Finally, it's done. I was sleeved on Monday morning. I went first of my group. Thanks to he versed I wasnt nervous at all. I got to the room and I remember my legs being wrapped and the anesthesiologist trying to get an IV in. Around the 5 time he got it. I told him if I weren't under the influence I would be PRETTY mad at him.

 

After surgery I got back to my room and slept on and off then I woke up and FELT GREAT. I got up and walked around and all and I was feeling so good it was SCARY.

 

All in all it was a great experience. Later when I should have been sleeping I got nauseos and found out what DRY HEAVES really were. I did that for about an hour before I realized that the heaves were considered nausea and "theres an app for that". Once I got that I was doing fine.

When the next morning hit. Dr. Aceves commented and said that I looked very good for a Day 2 patient. I appreciated that. I felt really good too. I just hope it continues!

I had the same experience - did not really feel the surgery but the intake was way different. I don't think I ate anything for 2 days only water.
