Make sure you have someone to fill your scripts. Keep a basin, with tissues next to your bed, and your liquid tylenol. (if you need to take it, water it down...) I needed some for a headache when I got home, tookit, and threw it RIGHT back up!! Also, maybe some wipes for the bathroom...everyone is different, but just sayin'....lol! When I tooted, I needed to be on the toilet! Good luck

I was sleeved one week ago today. My Dr did'nt want me up and walking on the same day. I had a pain pump, so I really stayed ahead of any pain. (if I did, the dilauded fixed it, because there really was'nt ANY). You will get cotten mouth, so I was able to use the sponge on a stick to clean my mouth. I was also able to "swish and spit" to help with being thirsty. As for gas....didnt really have any of that either. I did have a slight fever, and low blood pressure; easily fixed. The only issues I had were water retention from head to toe. That came off as soon as I got home. And the one time i did have nausea was after the swollow study....ick!!! Everyone is so different. Just as I, you will heal in your own way. Good luck! Keep us updated!!

Hey everyone! I know its been a few days....not feeling 100% at all. Stayed 2 days, had a fever, and very low bp. Pain is very manageable. I had dilauded for 3 days. I now feel like i have the DT'S! LOL. My head is soooo foggy still. Everything i put into my sleeve, it cramps like crazy!! Just one more note for those of you who had to find out the hard way like I did...if you have to "toot", make sure you are on-the-toilet!! -
Doing really well so far. Have had a PCA for pain. They wont let me even eat ice chips until the swallow test, (wich is supossed to be this AM), so i've just rinsing and spitting. Retaining alot of water today. My Dr said 1 more night tonight. As for gas?...very little so far! Ttyl guys! My eyes are getting heavy! Xo Annemarie

If it continues, I would call your Dr./Nurse. Maybe a warm bath will help? -

Did you have those inflatable leg thingies on while in the hosp? -
You can change it up to raw spinich if you like it, with raw veggies. I alos put some protien on there, such as turkey or chicken. And drink lots of water! Good luck!!

3 Month Sleeve Anniversary Today!
shortypants replied to Tshaunda's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations!!! Sounds like you are doing a great job!! Keep it going!!! -
Hey Artsy! Yes, absolutly make sure you tell them about your previous issues, because they will fix them. Dont be afraid to use/ask for pain meds. Stay AHEAD of the pain. it's easier to control that way. Like Holly said, makeu SURE you walk, aleast every hour, hour and a half. I will try to post tomorrow after my surgery...no promises! lol. I LIKES my sleeps! lol. I work in EMS full time, and i'm sure my co-workers will be up breaking my chops. But I wouldnt have it any other way! Should I cheat and have them give me an IV at home?? lol!!!!!!! You will be ok! Annemarie
