Good luck.... I had mine done Monday 8am.... Was up walking Monday lunch time all be a little wobbly, and today feeling great. I can't believe for the first time in my whole life I don't feel hungry... Not one little bit. Wish you a speedy recovery... Move about as much and as soon as you can

Well day 2 for me and feeling loads better than yestday.... Still taking little sips of water but off the oxygen and all the monitors gone. Glad to hear everyone else from yestday doing well. Keep up the good work fellow sleevers hope you continue to make good improvements

Well I am currently 10 hours post op. woke up feeling rather groggy but no bad pain. Only way I can describe it is on my left side slightly off centre I feel like someone has punched me really hard in the stomach. None of the other incision places hurt in the slightest. Have been allowed 30ml of Water every half an hour which is lovely and have saline drip in the back of my hand for other Fluid. Like everyone else says the trapped wind/air in the body cavity is the worst thing. Initially had quite bad pain in my left shoulder from trapped air, which has now subsided. Been burping like a fool, and nurse has said that's really good. Asked to get up and have walked the corridors of hospital 3 times so far Got to stay in HDU overnight, but what service.... got a nurse all to myself!! Hope everyone else who have been sleeved today has had a smooth ride, and best of luck to everyone who are having it done in the future.

Well I am out the other side... Been up walking twice, my muse said I was the earliest she has seen anyone get out of bed. Determined to keep mobile to avoid the chance of any clots forming. Got socks and funny little air boots that keep squeezing my feet so hope all will be ok. Like a few others have reported I have got some discomfort around area they have cut stomach, and it hurts to breath deeply, other than this all is good, which considering only had it done at 8am (uk time) this morning is pretty good. Hope everyone else done today are feeling good too

Good luck Luauna... Tomorrow is my day for surgery too, and likewise very grateful for all the posts which have hoped me keep my nerve.

Thank you. So pleased I found this forum, it's good to read how other people are feeling and experiences they have gone through. Thanks everyone for posts - they are a real help to those of us shaking in our boots!!

Thanks... That's a really good idea. Hadn't bought of that one. Today has gone really slow and not sure if I will sleep tonight. Thankfully had a glorious day of sunshine in UK after about three weeks of constant rain. it's forecast to be good all week... Isn't that typical cause I will be locked up in a hospital. No doubt our summer will be over by the time I get home and it will be raining again lol. At least I will Ben the road to a new slimmer me!!

I am having my gastric sleeve tomorrow (in the uk) very interested and pleased to see I am not the only one feeling nervous
