Help! Ibuprofen after surgery?
My surgeon and all the nurses I saw said no ibuprofen, no advil. Not only can they thin the blood but they can irritate the stomach and can cause ulcers

How do I know if I can do this?
I think everyone is a mess lol. Its a lot of emotions. I was sleeved april 9 and believe me when I woke up I regretted it. But as the days went on I feel so much. Theres still obstacles.im on liquid diet and missing being able to eat. But I know its just for a short time. Im so happy I got my sleeve. Good luck on your journey

Surgery was April 14.
Goldissa, listen to your body. If u start having pain by all means use your pain med. But I wouldn't suggest just taking it out of fear. When they took my pain pump away I was so afraid all the pain was gonna hit me at once. But since then except for some tylenol for my back ( hate sleeping on my back) I ve taken nothing for pain. Pain meds are very useful if u need them but also addicting. When I had my gallbladder out a few years ago I took vicodin every 4 hours but I think it stalled my healing procese. It made me sleepy and lazy lol. But just listen to your body everyone is different. Maybe try waiting 5 hours to see how your feeling. U may surprise yourself

Any April Sleevers?
Dont rush it. If u cant get fluids down and have to stay another day then so b it. Better then forcing yourself. I vomited after surgery....wasnt pleasant

Surgery in a few hrs omg
Good luck. Just relax. You'll go in the o.r looking around next min you'll b waking up in recovery room. I was sleeved last wed and so happy. The next day was rough for me with nausea but they gave me zofran thru my iv and it helped instantly. Hardly any pain. If u get nauseous after ask for some alcohol wipes. They had me sniff it and it helps with the nausea. Good luck .post when your able

surgery is Tuesday & I'm a nervous wreck :(
Good luck everyone. I just had mine last wed. I must admit the day after surgery I had wish I didnt do it. But by the 3 rd day was feeling pretty good. Didnt have much pain. Nausea was my enemy but cant complain now. Just remember the pain and discomfort will pass soon. Do as thr drs tell u and you'll b ok. Good luck

Anyone having the sleeve in april?!
Jdillon. Mine felt alot like the gallbladder pain. Except I think the gallbladder was more pain. I havent had much pain at all. Havent taken any pain medicine since the morning after surgery. On my right incision I do feel a little pain when sitting or standing but only a second. Thr first 2 days I was so exhausted probably from the anesthesia and pain pump. But feel good now and I was sleeved wed.
