Well got sleeved yesterday n im a little sore. I been walking since yesterday. Gas pains are painful but walking helps. Did my upper gi n everything is ok! On January 29 weighed 253 n day of surgery(2wks after pre op diet) im now 228!

Well not to brag but everyone is calling me a rock star! 30 hours after surgery and I am ready to go. Just waiting on a ride. I have had no issues with nausea or tolerating liquids or meds. I get to start puree tomorrow.
I thought I would share

I was sleeved early 2/12. I spent the first 48 hours dry heaving. Not pleasant. I was terrified I was going to rip something open, but my leak test was negative. I stayed in the hospital an extra day to get control of the nausea. I got home late yesterday afternoon and have been fine. I'm able to take in liquids with no problem. Nothing sounds good to me tho. I still have gas pain, but other than my belly being tender, I don't have any pain at all. I have not taken any narcotic pain meds since day before yesterday. I took Tylenol last night since it was my first night in my own bed. I slept okay. I do have pretty bad heartburn which they say is normal. I started taking my Pepsid and hopefully that will help over the next couple of days. IF I continue to do well today with the Clear Liquids, I'm going to add another liquid to the mix. I feel I need some calories, I feel pretty tired and weak. Unfortunately everything seems to be going right through. At least I'm not constipated I guess. I've lost 10 pounds in a week which includes my time on pre-op diet. I walked quite a bit today and am now exhausted. Going to rest for a while. Hope you all continue to feel better.

Twelve hours until surgery! feeling anxious... Like I'm forgetting something. :/

hello feb buddies i have great news my date was set for feb 26 but i just left my pre op vist with a new date feb 19th woo hooo its comming so quickly !!! im so excited i cant wait !!!

2 weeks until the big sleeve day!!! Started the liquid diet today...man oh man dont know how im going to make it 2 weeks

I COMPLETELY agree with 4My2Boys. We had our surgery on the same day. I'm planning on going back to work on Monday (yep 1 week post op). I feel that good. Luckily my boss is awesome and said work as little or as much as you like and don't worry about the money.....nice company huh??? But I plan on doing a couple hour meeting on Monday and see how I feel from there. No heavy lifting required in my job and I can come home whenever I feel like it. The surgery wasn't that bad! My knee and back surgery was 10 times worse. So glad I had it done!!

Well I'm finally on the losers bench . The surgery went well, they found the hernia and repaired it. I have no regrets at all. I'm not hungry, nor do I crave food. My mom passed by and had one of my fav dishes and I didn't even care I forgot until now. I have so much gas pain its to much. I have walked and walked and walked. Little by little it goes away. The morphine was a big help. No vomiting no nausa no itching thank God. I got one more night here and I'm going home can't wait. I pray tht everyone on here has a safe a speedy recoverery. :-)

Hooray! We are bonded for life!

@himalaya62 congrats n good luck! I'm on Wednesday n i'm anxious!
