Congrats to all the recent sleevers. Our journey begins now. My surgery went well and recovery is going great. I do admit that it is difficult to get all the fluids in when you are NOT hungry.

I am now on the other side, but want to share my experience. I was sleeved on the 11th. Doctor found a hernia while he was doing the sleeve so he fixed that too. My surgery was 7:30 in the morning and I was off of the morphine by 2:00.The only pain I am experiencing is from the hernia. My stomach is gassy, but that does come out:-)
I am pleasantly surprised about how well I feel. I hope everyone has an easy time like I did!
Now comes the journey of a lifetime. Post-op next week and hopefully will be able to more to next phase.
Best wishes for all of the June Sleevers!!

Thanks you. Everything good. Had morphine in recovery but nothing since. 4 hours and I just did my first urination and walk

Thanks for the recommendations! I will be packing tomorrow. Getting really excited and nervous at the same time. Can't wait to be on the other side!

Scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning. Sending good wishes to all my June 11 buddies.

I have read all different responses to "what do you bring to the hospital" question, but want to see if there are any post op sleevers that have some suggestions??
June 11 is coming fast and furious!

Scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning. Sending good wishes to all my June 11 buddies.

I was sleeved yesterday also. Completely agree with Jandseakin. Not as bad as I feared. The nursing staff was wonderful. I was so glad to be able to swallow easily. Have had Water , juice and broth all went down easily. No major pain so so far so good. A day at a time.

Sleeved yesterday! What a positive experience. No nausea, no pain, exept some collarbone pain, which the pain meds took care of. Sipping Water, tea and broth without any problems at all. I stayed overnight at the clinic because I have sleep apnea and use a cpap maching, and I was glad to be there. The nurses were wonderful. Back home today and starting on the next stge of this adventure. Don't stress too much, future sleevers. It's really not bad at all (so far, lol)

Wishing today's sleevers a smooth and easy surgery and recovery to the new you. Five more days for me.

Happy Birthday!
