Day 4 post op....much better today- hard part is drinking constantly to get all the liquids in....sore more then anything. Had a bad nite just couldn't get comfortable to sleep. Hoping tonite is better. Did some light cleaning and that made feel better. Thursday I see the doctor and Tuesday I Finally get to drive! Tomorrow is the introduction to full liquids- can't wait!
When I do have my Clear Liquids sometime if I take one little drop more at a time when I sip I have some nasty pain....but no vomiting!
Each day is better and better and I can't wait to get back to normal - I just downloaded a ton of Bariatric Friendly recipes to try (and I'm not really a cook) so this should be a fun new journey!
Hope everyone else is having a smooth time!

Best of luck to those being sleeved today!

Well I'm sleeved.....I have to say the first several days were not fun....I'm crossing my finger it gets better! The left shoulder pain is the worst...the nurses said its from laying on the operating table for so long and trapped gas! Omg it makes ya want to cry...I'm trying to get my liquids in but it ain't easy by no means! They say walking help yes it does but it was much easier to walk in the hospital. I've walked tonite til my legs hurt...I've had popsicles and beef broth and Jello - keeping it all down, though when I eat the broth It feels funny (a little painful) going down and hitting my stomach. I get a little nausea too- but not as bad as the 1st day in the hospital. I know it's a slow process but still! How's everyone else doing? And thanks for letting me vent here! Oh if anyone's doing your sleeve at Jackson south-they were AWESOME!

Hi June Sleevers! I had originally been scheduled for the 4th, as I wrote above. Unfortunately, things went south with the clinic and staff I was dealing with. Due to their inexperience with insurance pay patients, having no clue as to everything going on with other of their own office staff, bad customer service, lack of compassion, rudeness, inability to be timely with returning calls and their lack of results, we felt totally unsafe continuing to pursue the surgery with this surgeon and clinic. I had no problems with the doctor himself, but couldn't possibly feel comfortable placing my life in such incompetent hands as his staff revealed. Because of the risks that are already associated with this surgery, I sure didn't want to add any unnecessary ones.
So, I have, as of today, become a July 2013 Sleever. I have had consult, EGD test, insurance approval and now got scheduled for the 12th. All this done in less than ten days with the new clinic and surgeon!
I still wish each of you June Sleevers MUCH success, FAST recovery, and all your health issues greatly improve each day!
