I have to tell you... The surgery was a success' date=' BUT I am feeling pretty off... I'm worried about getting in my Water.[/quote']

Me too! I am having a very hard time not throwing it up....

Hang in there' date=' the first week post op I was screaming in pain "what did I do to myself". It definetly gets better.

For fluids I drank a shot glass full of Water every 15 minutes, so much easier seeing it in small glasses.[/quote']

I am thinking that exact thing...."what on earth did I do"!!!! Promise it gets better? I need a rainbow...

If you can't hold down water' date=' you probably do need to go to the E.D. They can hydrate you with IV fluids. When the swelling goes down in your stomach, things will get better. Being dehydrated is nothing to be taken lightly.[/quote']

Thank you.....I have been sipping Water for the past hour. So far so good. I do not want to go back!!! I think I will feel better when the bloating is gone. Still miserable!

I am in Berkeley... 3 days post op. feeling horrible!!!

Am very sick.....I have been throwing up everything. I wish I could hold down my pain meds at least! My tummy hurts from wrenching and dry heaving. I am tired.

My surgeon called and said if I can't hold Water down, I would have to go back to Kaiser emergency.

Sipping Water now.....I sleep and throw up. That is it!

Please tell me this will go away quickly...

Miserable over here!!!

you'll be fine and yes your making right decision' date=' everyone will see when you start loosing. tomarrow is my 2 month surgerversery. good luck you got this.see you on loosers bench. [/quote']

Thank you Alovio!! Congrats on your surgeaversary!!!

I'm up. You?

How are you holding up, sweetie?

I am doing well....thinking about you!

First of all' date=' Happy Birthday tomorrow. I just turned 44 on the 18th. I wasn't in the hospital ony birthday, but I was 13 days postop and on the postop liquid diet on my birthday. I'm so very sorry that you don't have your mother's support but am glad you are doing what you feel is right for you. I know we aren't your mom, but we are all here for you. Good luck and let us know how you are doing when you feel able to check in.[/quote']

Thank you Amy!!

This is the best birthday ever....laying here on my couch, trying to pass gas!! Haha...

Surgery went well. My Dr even gave my pictures of MY procedure! My liver is gorgeous dahling...

Feeling pretty crappy, but so releaved to be finished. It's over!!! Yay

Afternoon everyone!

Well, I had my surgery yesterday! It was awful waking up from the anesthesia- I was sooooo sick, dry heaving with horrible cotton mouth sucks. The nurses gave my everything they had for nausea. Didn't work? Nope......

So, it was a long night of checking my pulse and getting up to pee. They must have filled my abdomen with the Panama Canal!

Good new is, I am home. I have a buttload of meds to take. I had the pharmacist make me a meds time sheet.

Laying on the couch, sipping chicken broth with horrible gas. I am bloated and get the hiccups every time I get up to walk.

Bottom line, I am home, it is over, I am on a new road- just learning to drive slow...

Mine is today also! Good luck!

Whaaaaat!!!!!! Good luck!! I will post when I wake up.....

Thanks everyone for the courage!!

Good luck and congrats! Mine is July 17 and im going stir crazy!!!

My apartment has never been this clean!!! This entire month has been a blur...nothing has been as important as June 20th, 2012,,!

Congrats on your date, I will think of you!

Can't sleep.....

I have to be at Kaiser Richmond CA at 10:30 in the morning! My actual surgery is at 12:30.

I don't really have any support...my mom is taking me and is not very happy with my choice to have my sleeve. " you are losing the weight, why get the surgery!"

I am getting my sleeve for my own reasons. I am a single mom. I have 2 children. I am going to turn 44 on June 21st...I will be in the hospital!!! I am not getting any younger. Losing the weight will give me back nine or so more years with my babies!!! Enough said, right?

Wish me luck, as I start this journey alone. If I watch one more Gastric Sleeve YouTube video, I may crack....LOL

Night...
